EMPLOYERS LIABILITY INSURANCE AND COMPANY ANNUAL REPORTS

Early day motion 263, tabled 16 July 1997 by Lord Whitehead (Labour). Signed by 41 members.

That this House notes with concern that former employees face considerable difficulty in identifying the insurers responsible for employers' liability insurance where a company has gone into liquidation and that legitimate compensation claims applicable to a period when an insurance company has accepted a premium for employers' liability are thereby frequently impeded; and accordingly considers that investigation should be undertaken into the practicability of requiring the name of the insurer responsible for providing employers' liability insurance to be included as a mandatory item in company annual reports.
