Peter Berring, chair of the Airmic liability special interest group, has slammed the DWP report on employer's liability (EL).
"I am disappointed these proposals do not go far enough.
"They only nibble at the problem, which is that insurers don't find employers' liability attractive. Airmic predicted last month that EL rates were likely to go on rising to the detriment of industry, and nothing in this document causes us to change that view.
"The document sets out a series of laudable objectives, but gives little indication as to how they will be achieved.
"The postponement of NHS recovery charges, meanwhile, merely puts off for another 12 months additional costs that are bound to put up insurance rates even further."
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
