Appointment of Theresa May 'a positive day in British public life' Association of British Insurers 1 min read13 July 2016 Partner content Congratulating Theresa May on becoming Prime Minister, Huw Evans, Director General of the Association of British Insurers (ABI), said: “The appointment of our second woman Prime Minister is a positive day in British public life which will hopefully encourage many more women to stand for election to Parliament. The ABI worked closely with Theresa May's Home Office team on successful reform of riot damages legislation and with her personally during her time as an impressive shadow Work & Pensions Secretary. We will engage constructively and effectively with the new UK Government in the months and years ahead as it navigates our exit from the European Union and the many public policy issues which our industry engages with.” Related Labour Economist: Paying More Taxes Will Make People Happier By Sophie Church 20 Jul
