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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she is taking to support businesses at risk of flooding but ineligible for Flood Re insurance.

Businesses in flood risk areas should seek out the best insurance quotes available to them and may benefit from using an appropriate broker. There are a range of insurance products available, including the British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA) Commercial Property scheme for small and medium-sized enterprises, and parametric insurance products.
