Touring Caravan Insurance

Peter Mandelson, the Business Secretary has had a “positive” meeting with the National Caravan Council (NCC) to discuss the future of the industry. The meeting was also attended by John Prescott, and the Hull West and Hessle MP Alan Johnson.

The aim is to increase government support for the motorhome, caravan holiday home, and touring caravan industries during the financial downturn.

The NCC highlighted the financial contribution made by the industry to the UK economy. Including manufacture, tourism and insurance, this amount to £6 billion annually.

John Lally, Director-General of the NCC stated that the government “recognises that it is a difficult time for the UK caravan industry and that there are a number of challenges.”

He further said that the NCC “have been given the opportunity to work with government to explore collaboratively a range of measures to improve the situation for the industry.”

The NCC has asked the government for “constructive steps to be taken”.

We shall see.
