British insurers welcome women's car insurance scrutiny
British insurers have welcomed the scrutiny being given to women's car insurance as part of a European-wide scrutiny of gender-based insurance policies.
A spokesman for the Association of British Insurers said that they were keen for the EU to explore the issue, adding that there was some regret at the delay in a final decision.
"We are encouraged to hear that the EU Council of Ministers has recognised the validity of gender as a factor in insurance, though it is disappointing that a final decision has been held over to December," said a spokesman.
"The UK government has continued to support our views on the benefits of gender pricing for our customers, and we hope that the issue will be settled in December."
The EU is determining whether women's car insurance should be higher or lower than men's, or whether it constitutes discrimination.
