Brokers split on Brexit impact
BLM research shows only half of brokers know what impact the Enterprise Bill will have on late claims payments.
Brokers are split when it comes to assessing the impact of a Brexit vote in the upcoming EU Referendum, according to insurance and risk law specialist BLM.
The Q2 Broker Pulse showed that 42% of brokers taking part believed leaving the EU would not have an impact on insurance buying habits, while 40% think it would and 18% are unsure.
According to BLM this was the key takeaway from the second Broker Pulse, which questions a range of UK brokers on issues affecting the community every quarter.
