BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

U.K. politicians push for flood insurance for small companies

February 09, 2016 Reprints

Members of the U.K. Parliament are requesting the government to introduce cheaper and more accessible flood insurance for small firms, The Independent reported.

Craig Whittaker, a British politician, said that several businesses in West Yorkshire's Calder Valley have been devastated because of lack of adequate insurance.

Small firms are not included in Flood Re, the country's government-backed reinsurance scheme.

"I'm calling on the government to make it viable for affordable cover to be available to all," said Mr. Whittaker.
