Retention Of Workplace Insurance Policies
EDM number 1829 in 2007-08, proposed by Andrew Dismore on 18/06/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Employment and Financial services.
That this House recognises the importance of the regulation which requires employers to retain employers' liability compulsory insurance policies for 40 years; notes that the regulation will help employees diagnosed in the future with work-related illnesses such as asbestos-related disease to claim the compensation to which they are entitled; is concerned that without this regulation, unscrupulous employers could evade their responsibilities to injured workers by destroying insurance records; and calls on the Government to retain regulation 4(4) of the Employers' Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Regulations 1998.
This motion has been signed by a total of 70 MPs.
