Mr. Cousins: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to his answer to the right hon. Member for Birkenhead (Mr. Field)
of 27 October 2003, Official Report, column 6W, on life insurance, how many (a) regular and (b) reserve personnel serving in the
Gulf have cover; and how many do not. [139236]
Mr. Ingram: Commercial life insurance is not part of the benefits the Ministry of Defence provides. For those who die in Service or
leave the Service due to injury, the MOD's support is provided by the War Pension Scheme, the Armed Forces Pension Scheme and (for
reservists) the Reserve Forces (Attributable Benefits Etc) Regulations. Moreover, as personal insurance is a complex area and one
that is becoming increasingly regulated by the Financial Services Authority, it is MOD policy not to endorse, sponsor or recommend
any commercial insurance scheme. Therefore, while MOD encourages regulars and reservists to ensure that they are appropriately
insured for their particular circumstances, the decision whether to purchase cover, and which scheme to join, must be a matter for
the individual, and as such is not monitored by the Ministry of Defence.
