The horrific injury suffered by a Wolverhampton Wanderers fan last weekend has brought the issue of public liability to the forefront of people's minds.
The 38-year-old was injured when a stray firework from a display in the stadium hit her in the face.
John Greenway, MP for Ryedale, said that the industry must not ignore the issue of public liability and focus only on employers' liability (EL) insurance.
Speaking at the annual IIB reception at the House of Commons, the chairman of the Insurance and Financial Services All Party Parliamentary Group said:
"The insurance industry is whistling in the dark if it thinks that the DWP review will recommend a change in the scope of EL. The industry needs to address the issue of costs. And if it truly wants to do this, it needs to look at public liability as well as employers' liability."
