We have all seen the horrific circumstances some householders find themselves in during all these repeating floods.
Should the Government and the rest of Insurance customers help by providing an emergency fund to help them out?
/// To cover floods such as this one, the Government is being asked by the UK's biggest insurers to provide an overdraft to cover exceptional levels of claims from next summer. ///
/// In return insurers say they will charge homes in lower-risk areas an extra £10 per year and put all the cash in a fund for emergencies. ///
/// Any extra money they need would be provided by the Government, which they plan to pay back over several years. ///
Or better still should the insurance industry be nationalised?
