INSURANCE
No refund of insurance premium is payable from public funds for officers on short term visits overseas. When the personal property (other than money or luxury articles) of an officer sent overseas on a short term visit is lost or damaged during transit to or from the UK or while he or she is in receipt of subsistence allowance during their stay overseas and the loss or damage is not covered by an existing insurance policy, and the officer has not been negligent, compensation may be paid at the discretion of PSD. The amount of compensation would be based on the current cost of replacing the articles, less the amount for depreciation or, if less, the full cost of repair.
