Speaker 2
Welcome to today's meeting, which is the fourth oral evidence session as part of the committee's inquiry into the regulation of the consumer insurance market.  And thank you very much, Mr. Bose, for attending.  This session is open to the public.  It's broadcast live and is subsequently accessible via the parliamentary website.  A verbatim transcript will be taken of the evidence and will be put on the parliamentary website. 

Could you please introduce yourself for the record, Mr. Bose, and then I believe you'll be making a brief opening statement. 
23:38 - 24:23
Speaker 1
Yes, thank you very much.  I'm Chris Bose.  I'm Director of General Insurance and International for the Association of British Insurers. 

We are the trade body for the insurance industry.  Thank you for inviting us to give evidence to this inquiry.  We are very pleased to help you understand the challenges of consumer understanding in the insurance market.  What I would say up top is insurance at its heart is about providing security and resilience in volatile and uncertain times, whether that be to consumers, to organizations, or to businesses.  I would argue that the ever more volatile world that we live in means that the sector is absolutely crucial.
