Insurance bosses will meet ministers to discuss their response to the flood crisis. Victims have received £14m in emergency payments so far. Ed Miliband will call for faster processing of insurance claims when he too meets industry representatives.
The flooding crisis caused by devastating storms this winter is likely to get worse, despite forecasters predicting a welcome break in the weather for the coming week, David Cameron said.
The Prime Minister said while the weather was due to improve, the volume of rainfall over recent weeks meant groundwater levels would keep rising in many places.
Parts of southern, south west and central England remain at risk of flooding due to high river levels following the recent heavy rainfall.
Mr Cameron said: "Thankfully, it does appear that we will see less rain and wind over the next few days.
"However, after so much rain over recent weeks, groundwater levels remain very high and in many places will continue to rise."
