To ask Her Majesty's Government what measures they are considering to ensure that there is sufficient professional indemnity cover for those advising the construction industry on fire consultancy and building safety.
This question was answered on 25th February 2020
The Government is aware of issues affecting the professional indemnity cover of some fire and building safety consultants. We are engaging with the construction industry to understand the scale of the problem, and also with the insurance industry to better understand their approach to risk.
