In Spring this year, the Government will publish a consultation on the design of a new UK regime for captive insurance companies.<\/p>

<\/p>

The consultation will test views on proposals to introduce an attractive and competitive new UK captive insurance regime that works for businesses.

The Government is committed to making sure that buildings insurance costs are fair and transparent, and that leaseholders have confidence in challenging costs where necessary. Insurers must price risk in a responsible manner. It is clear from the Financial Conduct Authority reports into this market that leaseholders have not always been getting the service that they should, and this must change.<\/p>

The Association of British Insurers is developing a scheme for buildings with fire safety risks experiencing particularly high premiums. I have engaged regularly with the industry to monitor the progress of the scheme. We have made clear that we expect the scheme to be delivered as soon as possible.<\/p>

The Government has also committed to ban commissions paid to brokers or other third parties on buildings insurance from being passed on to leaseholders through their service charge, replacing this with more transparent fees. We are pressing relevant parties to urgently consider their charging mechanisms ahead of government reform. The Financial Conduct Authority has recently consulted on changing its rules to increase transparency for leaseholders and ensure insurers and insurance brokers apply fair value to their policies, an initiative which I strongly welcome.<\/p>

We will continue to work with the insurance sector to restore confidence in building safety and a return to proportionate premiums and products.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4652", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lee Rowley"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North East Derbyshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lee Rowley"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-10-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "199694"} , {"_value" : "199695"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-10-16T16:19:39.44Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "211"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Levelling Up, Housing and Communities"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Levelling Up, Housing and Communities"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-09-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Insurance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, pursuant to his oral contribution of 30 January 2023, Official Report, column 55, what steps his Department has taken steps to help alter the behaviour of insurance companies; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/163", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Stephen Timms"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "East Ham"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Sir Stephen Timms"} ], "uin" : "199696"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1587880", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1587880/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Treasury ministers frequently meet representatives of insurance providers, where topics of conversation include increasing transparency and engagement around insurance policy renewals. The Government welcomes progress in this area, including the more recent rules in the Financial Conduct Authority\u2019s policy statement 21/5 which require that firms offer a renewal price that is no greater than the equivalent new business price for a new customer, as well as providing customers with a range of options to stop their policy from auto-renewing.<\/p>

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is the independent non-governmental body responsible for regulating and supervising the financial services industry. The FCA\u2019s rules require insurers to handle claims fairly and promptly and settle claims quickly once settlement terms are agreed. 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.<\/p>

In addition, the Government has legislated to ensure that all UK insurance policies with EU insurance companies can continue to be serviced by those EU companies after Brexit, notably with a Temporary Permissions Regime (TPR) for EEA firms currently passporting into the UK. This allows EU firms to continue operations in the UK for a time-limited period at the end of the transition period while they apply for full UK authorization, while the Financial Services Contracts Regime allows for the orderly wind down of the UK regulated activities of remaining firms who do not enter the TPR.<\/p>

HMT has been assessing the risk that a small minority of insurance payments from UK insurers into the EU may be delayed. While HMT is responsible for setting the policy direction, it is the role of the independent regulator \u2013 the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) \u2013 to engage with industry and test firm planning.<\/p>

<\/p>

The FCA has made it clear to insurers and insurance intermediaries that they should have appropriate plans in place to manage a no-deal exit, this should include plans to communicate with consumers should there be a change in the way their policy is serviced. The FCA expects firms to continue to service all their customers as fully and fairly as the law permits, including what regulatory protections will apply for their customers. The FCA has delivered these messages through a combination of direct contact with firms, senior leadership speeches, dedicated Brexit pages on its website, and trade association events.<\/p>

As the question notes, HMG\u2019s Operation Yellowhammer planning assumptions are not a prediction, but a reasonable worst-case scenario. The specifics on the length and proportion of affected policies would depend on each individual case \u2013 by definition, any delays would relate to exceptional cases which therefore cannot be estimated.<\/p>

<\/p>

However, substantial progress has been made towards mitigating this risk. The Bank of England\u2019s Financial Stability Report shows that UK insurers\u2019 actions in restructuring their business have made good progress towards being able to service the majority of their £61 billion of EU liabilities after Brexit - £56 billion of this liability is expected to be addressed by 31 October. Temporary regimes announced by EU states are expected to further reduce the residual \u2018at risk\u2019 liabilities.<\/p>
