In line with general Government practice, the Ministry of Defence does not normally insure its assets. Claims against the Department arising out of incidents involving its motor vehicles are handled under contract by its third party motor claims administrators, Gallagher Bassett International Limited. The information sought, which is readily available only for the period from 2007-08, is given in the tables.
