If I can interject. This is the sort of nonsense that goes on in this regard. A householder approached me recently with a letter from a specific insurance company. Two questions were asked of the householder in the letter, namely what specific measures the householder had carried out with regard to protecting the house with regard to further flooding - a reasonable question - but the second question asked the householder to inform the insurance company what works were done by the local authority in the general area with regard to flood measures. That is not something an insurance company should ask. I have the letter and could give the Minister of State a copy of it.
