I particularly thank the Government for giving serious consideration to this. It is interesting that the Minister said, quite rightly, that we do not want conflicting laws. Part of the problem is that what she quoted about the right of leaseholders to take the freeholder to the leasehold tribunal to get this information does not enable them to get it from the insurance company. It seems to be the insurance companies that do not seem to know that they should be providing residents with information on their cover. Residents can obviously get a copy of the insurance but it will not cover all these small points. What we were trying to write into the Act was to make sure that everyone knows their responsibility, including insurance companies, who should not wriggle out of giving this information. I think that the noble Baroness is going to give me some more helpful comments.
