Travel Insurance Awareness and Concerns

The motion

That the Parliament notes the campaign to ensure awareness for holidaymakers, especially younger people, of the importance and detail of travel insurance policies; understands that many people go abroad every year without travel insurance and those who do are unaware that insurers may negate a policy if alcohol can be shown to be involved in any way in an incident for which a claim is made; understands that the Financial Ombudsman Service has found many examples where the terms describing alcohol consumption are not clearly defined in the policy or have been unfairly applied by the insurer to reject a claim; believes that this lack of clear and fair definition is a barrier to ensure that travel insurance is seen by all as a sensible option to have, and calls for action to be taken to ensure that insurance companies are expected to act in a fair and open matter.
