In addition, the FCA has said that, in light of COVID-19, insurers must consider very carefully the needs of their customers and show flexibility in their treatment of them. The Government is working closely with the FCA to ensure that the rules are being upheld during this crisis and fully supports the regulator in its role.</p><p> </p><p>The FCA have also issued guidance for travel insurance customers, which can be found on their website.</p><p>We have discussed with insurers the importance of insurance cover for Covid-19 in restoring consumer confidence to travel again.

We will continue to monitor this situation closely.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 29/06/2020 16:08:11 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
