Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 27 of January to Question 108554 on Floods: Insurance, with reference to his Department's commissioned insurance industry data, what proportion of the samples of policies for determining the number of policies impacted by flood exclusions were from (a) Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey constituency and (b) other rural communities.

The Association of British Insurers and British Insurance Brokers’ Association commissioned data from their members. The data samples provided by industry are not broken down; therefore, we do not hold details on the proportion of exclusions by constituency or in rural communities.
