Flood Insurance

Debate between Dominic Raab and Laurence Robertson

Tuesday 26th March 2013 Commons Chamber

[Mr Laurence Robertson (Tewkesbury) (Con)]

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for raising this very important subject. Does he agree that another factor to consider is the level of excesses that insurance companies charge? If they set the excess at £20,000, the family affected are, in effect, not insured.

[Mr Raab]

I thank my hon. Friend for his timely intervention and I think that he is on point. We need a comprehensive deal covering all aspects of the insurance premium.
