Lloyd's has been included on the Burma Campaign's list of companies which it claims directly or indirectly help to finance Burma's military dictatorship, said a report.

Lloyd's is one of 39 UK companies included on the ‘Dirty List'.

The Burma Campaign claims that Lloyd's provides insurance and reinsurance services to companies investing in Burma, as well as insuring Burmese companies through state-owned insurers.

According to the report, a Lloyd's spokesman said the market did a limited amount of business in Burma and that it always complies with international sanctions and international regulatory requirements.

Other UK firms named in the list include Rolls Royce and travel company Abercrombie & Kent, the report said.

The Burma Campaign was founded in 1991 with the aim of restoring human rights and democracy in Burma.
