INSURANCE PREMIUMS FOR THOSE WITH SERIOUS DISEASES

Early day motion 2601, tabled 18 July 2006 by Jim Devine (Labour). Signed by 63 members.

That this House calls on insurance companies to take action to reduce the travel insurance premiums charged to people who have suffered from serious diseases such as cancer; notes that premiums for people in such a position can be many times higher than otherwise quoted; and calls for action to be taken to lower premiums so that insurance costs do not prohibit former patients from travelling abroad.

Signatures by party: Labour 44, Liberal Democrat 8, Conservative 5, DUP 4, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2.
