There is an issue I would like to raise, which is not on the list. Deputy Jack Wall asked me to raise the issue of personal insurance and whether there is any mechanism whereby the Committee of Public Accounts could invite the Insurance Ombudsman or the Financial Services Ombudsman to explain how this operates. There are allegations that because of the six-year rule if insurance companies offer products without fully divulging the payments, there is no recourse to chase them up after six years. Is there any mechanism whereby the ombudsman can be brought in and asked about that issue?
