Actual claims made could drag on for ten years. One has to pay a premium for a ten-year period and the claim might not add up to anything. It is a matter of transparency. If one can clearly see a potential claim as a policyholder, one should see what the claim costs in a premium, and if there is an actual claim, one should see the cost of the premium for that. It drags on and takes a long time to get to the end date.

It is very hard to keep track of that. Those are my few comments. I thank the Minister of State for being present.
