I have one remaining question as we must conclude.

I saw various letters by insurance companies refusing to honour claims, claims that were based on the outbreak of infectious disease, where the insurance companies were saying that one needs to prove that there was an outbreak within 25 miles of one’s premises. I have two “yes” or “no” questions on that. Has Mr. Cribben seen any such letters and have such letters been sent since the CSO published information on the district electoral divisions, DEDs, in which outbreaks were identified? In other words, did the companies stop using that reason as an excuse when that information suddenly became available to the insured person?
