Extract from topical Justice questions - Sep 5

Andrew Selous (South West Bedfordshire) (Con): Will the Secretary of State look at how families are treated by the insurance industry when a householder gets a criminal conviction? The Salvation Army recently highlighted several cases in which insurance has either been denied or made prohibitively expensive in a way that seems to me, as a former chartered insurer, to be neither reasonable nor necessary.

The Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice (Mr David Lidington): I am happy to look at that and would welcome a conversation with my hon. Friend to examine the matter further.
