Written question asked by Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Baroness Scotland of Asthal (Labour) on Tuesday, 6 March 2007.


Crime: Rape

Question
asked Her Majesty's Government:Further to the Written Answer by Lord Filkin on 17 February 2003 (WA 150-51) and the Written Answer by Baroness Scotland of Asthal on 29 November 2006 (WA 56), why the given numbers of awards by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority to victims of rape in 2001-02 differ.
Answer

The information given in both Answers was in fact correct but relates to different data. The 2003 Answer gave information about the number of awards made for ““non-consensual vaginal and/or anal intercourse””, while the 2006 Answer gave information about the number of awards made when the ““incident type”” was initially recorded as rape. I will write to the noble Lord with a fuller explanation.
