To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many insurers in the market are providing personally identifiable information policies for Professional Indemnity Insurance Policies in a form considered acceptable by the Financial Conduct Authority and which meets the PSD2 requirement in the UK.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is conducting an ongoing registration and authorisation process for Open Banking Account Information Service Providers and Payment Initiation Service Providers.
To date, 29 applications to be registered as an Account Information Service Provider have been received by the Financial Conduct Authority. As the Payment Services Regulations do not come into effect until 13 January 2018 it is not possible to formally approve applications before that date.
Of the applications received to date, a number have been accompanied by a PII policy. Consideration of PII policies, and whether they meet the requirements of registration, are part of the ongoing assessment of these cases.

The Government is committed to addressing penalties for those who are on the poorest value tariffs and the detriment found by the Competition and Markets Authority, which is why we have published the draft Domestic Gas & Electricity (Tariff Cap) Bill for pre-legislative scrutiny.
The Government will also issue a Consumer Green Paper in due course that tackles areas where markets are not working for consumers and businesses.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when the Government plans to publish its response to the recommendations made in the Insurance Fraud Taskforce report of January 2016; and what steps he is taking to reduce fraudulent personal injury claims while ensuring appropriate compensation for genuine claimants.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when the Government plans to publish its response to the recommendations made in the Insurance Fraud Taskforce report of January 2016; and what steps he is taking to reduce fraudulent personal injury claims while ensuring appropriate compensation for genuine claimants.
The Government published its response to the Insurance Fraud Taskforce’s report on 26 May 2016 (HCWS28), accepting each of the recommendations. We have introduced a number of reforms to reduce fraudulent personal injury claims. We are taking action on package holiday sickness claims, and have commissioned the Civil Justice Council to consider the rules around low value personal injury claims generally so that we can address the incentives to bring unmeritorious claims.
The Government’s whiplash reform programme will help to combat fraudulent personal injury claims, whilst ensuring that genuinely injured claimants are appropriately compensated. Further announcements about these reforms will be made in due course.

The Civil Aviation Authority monitors the ability of UK operators to obtain insurance. The ability of UK license holders to obtain insurance cover is dependent upon the insurer’s assessment of relevant risks in relation to an individual license holder. The CAA advises that such cover in the market in general has been readily obtainable over the period in question, and the overall market trend of such premiums has been downwards.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what estimate his Department has made of the (a) insurance costs and (b) other costs of permanently housing the replica of Amy Johnson's Gipsy Moth in (a) Hull and (b) the Yorkshire Air Museum.
HMP Hull are working with Hull city of Culture organisation, St Stephen’s shopping centre and Yorkshire Air museum who have both indicated that they are able to provide a permanent location for the full-scale replica of Amy Johnson’s Gipsy Moth. Consideration will be given to the insurance and other costs before a decision is made.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is responsible for monitoring and regulating the insurance industry.
As a rule, insurers use their claims experience, other industry-wide statistics and detailed risk assessments to calculate the risks posed when underwriting an insurance contract. This enables them to price their insurance products accordingly. The Government does not generally intervene in these commercial decisions by insurers.
If it becomes clear that intervention is necessary, the FCA is able to do so.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent assessment he has made of the availability of flood insurance for leasehold properties in blocks of four or more homes.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent assessment he has made of the availability of flood insurance for leasehold properties in blocks of four or more homes.
The government remains in close contact with the Association of British Insurers (ABI) and BIBA, neither of whom has identified a significant problem for leasehold properties accessing flood insurance.
Government is aware that access to insurance remains an issue for a number of leasehold properties in blocks of four or more, where there is particularly high risk. We are following with interest a new service being provided by a BIBA broker which offers to formally vary leasehold agreements in order to give the leaseholder an express obligation to insure the structure of their property, thus allowing the leaseholder to access Flood Re.
In addition, the Government continues to work with commercial interests under the Property Level Resilience Roundtable to promote the uptake of measures that make properties, including leasehold properties, more resilient to flooding. Successes include a one-stop shop flood resilience website, demonstration properties in Cumbria and the development of a Code of Practice.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what estimate he has made of the number of small businesses in the British Insurance Brokers’ Association’s new affordable flood insurance scheme.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what estimate he has made of the number of small businesses in the British Insurance Brokers’ Association’s new affordable flood insurance scheme.
The British Insurance Broker Association (BIBA) insurance product, launched in December 2016, provides flood insurance for small businesses that have struggled to access it to-date.
Since the scheme launched it continues to grow in line with BIBA’s expectations. With a balanced and sensible approach BIBA are now insuring over 150 businesses who have previously had problems accessing insurance.
The BIBA scheme also insures against the excess of a policy. This product has been taken up 1,100 times in the past 12 months. Its value was evidenced by last Wednesday’s flooding in Lancaster and Cumbria, where three claims have been reported so far for commercial properties, each with a £25,000 flood excess.

The Secretary of State announced on 12 October 2017 that the Government is planning to develop a state-backed indemnity scheme for general practice in England, subject to further work on relevant issues.
We envisage the scheme would provide clinical negligence cover to providers of general practitioner (GP) services (e.g. GP contractors out-of-hours providers of GP services) through which the activities of individual GPs would be covered from the point the scheme is established. It would be available to all contractors who provide primary medical services: General Medical Services, Primary Medical Service and Alternative Provider Medical Services plus any other integrated urgent care delivered through NHS Standard Contracts. The cover would include the activities of practice staff including other medical professionals working for the practice in the provision of these contracted services, and students/trainees working in this area.
Decisions have yet to be made about inclusion of doctors working in other public sector settings including prisons and the Ministry of Defence. We are working with GPs and their representatives, other providers of primary medical services and practice staff to develop the scheme and its scope so as to work best for general practice, and for patients.
My hon. Friend raises a good point. The Association of British Travel Agents reported a sixfold increase in gastric illness claims against tour operators between 2013 and 2016, but reports in resorts of illness were declining. This cost operators about £240 million last year, which of course hikes the cost for holidaymakers. We are calling for evidence on our plan to fix the legal cost to make it easier to defend dishonest claims, which will mean that honest families pay less for their hard-earned holidays.

Given that a rise in fraudulent claims can push up the cost of insurance for all, what assessment has the Minister made of the levels of holiday sickness insurance claims and the impact of false claims on the cost for honest holidaymakers?
