'UK Risks' represents premiums received in respect of direct and facultative reinsurance for motor and non-motor business written in respect of risks arising in the UK.
'Home Foreign' covers other motor and non-motor business for risks arising overseas.
'Reinsurance' represents premiums received under reinsurance treaties which are accepted in the UK regardless of the location of the ceding office.
Significant shifts in the figures for Accident & Health and Home-Foreign business are due to changes in ABI membership.
