On your suggestion regarding pandemic insurance cover, HM Treasury is working closely with insurers, trade bodies and the regulators to understand what more the sector can do to help businesses and support the immediate economic recovery, as well as to learn lessons for potential future pandemics. HM Treasury also remains in close contact with the Prudential Regulation Authority following the test case judgement to monitor the solvency of the insurance sector and will take all necessary steps to maintain financial stability.
