How many jobs are there in the business sector where public liability insurance is required? Is that information available? I am talking about businesses which rely on public footfall. The Professor mentioned public liability, and this is directly related to it. If there are gaps which mean that the council cannot comment on the situation, where are those gaps and how can they be filled? Does the council play any role in the effort to deal directly with smaller businesses, in terms of questionnaires and focus groups and if not, why not?
