Consultation description
We want to know what you think about regulations we are making to allow the insurance industry to implement the flood reinsurance scheme, known as Flood Re.
Flood Re will help make flood insurance affordable for households at flood risk in the UK.
Part 4 of Water Act 2014 sets the broad scope of these regulations and how Flood Re will operate.
We particularly want to hear from groups and individuals at risk of flooding, and from the insurance industry and property and mortgage sector.
