Ministers have had no meetings with stakeholders regarding proposals on the small claims threshold for personal injury claims included in the recent ‘Reducing the number and cost of whiplash claims’ consultation.

Association of British Insurers
Forum of Insurance Lawyers
Motor Accident Solicitors Society
Association of Personal Injury Lawyers
Consumer Justice Alliance
Access to Justice Action Group
Association of Medical Reporting Organisations
British Orthopaedic Association
Royal Society of General Practitioners.
In addition, officials discussed the proposals with the Law Society as part of a meeting on the wider civil justice reform agenda, as well as holding consultation meetings with individual representatives from insurance, claimant lawyer and the medical sectors during the consultation period.

The purpose of the amendment to the Health and Safety at Work Act enacted by this clause is to reduce employer's liability insurance premiums but rather to provide a consistent approach to civil litigation across all health and safety legislation which will be simple for both employers and employees to understand. Employer's liability insurance is often sold as part of a package of insurances required by business and a wide range of factors influence the level of premiums charged, including the amount of activity undertaken by the business and the insurer's experience of the industry sector. Therefore it is not possible to quantify what, if any, impact this amendment will have on premium levels.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what checks are in place to ensure that pensioners in the UK who are EU nationals have (a) comprehensive health cover and (b) sufficient income to live without needing income support before being allowed to enter or remain resident in...
All EU nationals, including pensioners, have a right of admission and residence in the UK for an initial period of three months.
An EU national who remains in the UK beyond the initial period of three months as a self-sufficient person (which would apply to pensioners) is required to hold comprehensive sickness insurance and sufficient resources to prevent themselves and any family members from becoming an unreasonable burden on the social assistance system of the UK.
In such cases, strict checks are made to ensure that the requirements set out in the regulations are met. It is not desirable to state the exact nature of these checks as such disclosure may enable immigration offenders to circumvent our chocking processes and prejudice the operation and integrity of our immigration controls, but these include checks on whether the EU national is exercising free movement rights in the UK.

In collaboration with the National Flood Forum and industry representatives, DEFRA published a “Guide to obtaining flood insurance in high risk areas” in July 2012.
This will be made available in the Library of the House.
The guide provides practical information to householders living in high flood risk areas that are finding it difficult to find insurance cover.
It provides helpline numbers that will assist householders to locate flood specialist insurance brokers and the information that may be needed by those brokers. It also provides tips on how to reduce the impact of flooding on properties and useful information on key organisations responsible for the management of flood risk.
The Environment Agency provides maps on its website which show areas at risk of flooding and information on how that might affect an individual's insurance. This information is updated quarterly and is available at:
http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/floods/31650.aspx
DEFRA has also been working with the Association of British Insurers and others to establish a common methodology for reporting the impact of property-level protection measures in reducing potential flood damages. We have recently published the resulting template and guidance which will help insurers incorporate that information into their risk assessment and pricing decisions. This information is available on the Environment Agency's website at the following web address:
http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/research/planning/129526.aspx
Constructive discussions continue between Government and the Association of British Insurers and others about the future of flood insurance. We need a solution that ensures affordable insurance bills for those at flood risk but does not place unsustainable costs on wider policyholders and the taxpayer. A range of options are on the table and no final decisions have been taken.
I will endeavour to provide a further public update at the earliest appropriate opportunity.
