Biba urges action from government to safeguard UK property
The British Insurance Brokers' Association (Biba) has called for the Government to establish a single body to take overall responsibility for flooding and to co-ordinate a unified approach with the various stakeholders. The call comes as BIBA formally responded to Sir Michael Pitt's Flooding Lessons Learned Review.
In a statment, Biba has welcomed the commitment that the Government has already given to start implementing the urgent recommendations but is concerned that if action isn't taken to implement the interim conclusions, properties could be left vulnerable or uninsurable.
Biba believes that the majority of the recommendations in the Pitt report are well thought out sensible points that should not cost the Government a great deal of money.
