The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether her Department has had discussions with insurers on the availability of public liability insurance for diversified agricultural businesses that host members of the public as part of their business model.

Answered by Stephen Morgan

The Government engages regularly with insurers and regulators on a variety of topics. The Government has not made a specific assessment regarding the availability of public liability insurance for diversified agricultural businesses.


The Government would always recommend that consumers shop around to find the most suitable cover at the best price. For more specialised risks, it may be helpful for consumers to consult an insurance broker, who will be able to help search the market for specialist providers.
