Question
to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will publish the names of all insurers which have Flood Re-compatible products available to consumers on the day of launch of the Flood Re-scheme before that day.
Answered by Rory Stewart
Flood Re is on target to start operating on 4 April. Flood Re will publish a list of participating insurers shortly before its launch.
For the first time it offers the prospect of available and affordable flood insurance to households at high flood risk.
The insurance market will continue to adapt after Flood Re is launched - it will be important for people to continue to shop around for the best deal.

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many properties built after January 2009 were flooded in winter 2013-14; and what guidance his Department issues to homeowners who are declined insurance by their provider because of risk of flooding. [R]
Answered by Dan Rogerson
We do not collect information on the number of properties built after January 2009 which were flooded in the winter of 2013-14. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has published a “Guide to obtaining flood insurance in high risk areas” on the GOV.UK website, which sets out steps for households in flood risk areas to access appropriate insurance.
