liketheroman, thank you for your reply.
This is what I am being told when I call the insurer, but I don't understand why based on the wording on the policy and the fact that it has two distinct sections - one re: their compulsory legal requirement to provide Third Party Liability with no mention of time limits, and the other re: their automatic extension for F&T cover for 60 days. The DVLA website states that all UK insurance policies must provide cover for Third Party Liability in the EU, and does not state a minimum/maximum number of days that cover should be provided for (therefore suggesting to me that it should be unlimited). I have found that some insurers get around the assumption I am making by including a clause that states that the policy holder is no longer deemed to be a resident of the UK if they are out of the UK for over 90 days in total during the term of the insurance which therefore invalidates the policy (e.g.: Churchill I believe), but my policy does not include such a clause.
BTW, well spotted, it is indeed a PO policy!
