I have a quick question on flood prevention measures. There are a number of issues in my constituency, and I presume around the country, where people have suffered flooding. The local authority has engaged in flood prevention work, which apparently is to a 100 year standard, but the people are still unable to access insurance because the OPW does not include it in the memorandum of understanding with the insurance companies. I think this is because it is at too low a level and involves relatively small technical work. It leaves these people, as far as I can understand it and presumably it affects quite a few people around the country, still in a position whereby flood prevention work has been carried out, which may or may not be to the required standard as I cannot speak to that, but they are still unable to access insurance. Is there any plan to deal with this?
