Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 16 July 2008. It occurred during Legislative debate on Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme 2008.


Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme 2008

My Lords, I will take that away and see whether figures can be provided. No doubt they will be hypothetical at this stage, but we will do that. However, we do not think that this will make a huge difference. I return briefly to the noble Lord, Lord Henley. I now have figures on the value of all payments—interim and final—over the last number of years. I will, of course, send those to him and to the noble Baroness, Lady Falkner. The figures have gone up from £20 million in 1996-97 to £207 million in 2007-08. The difference between that and the £235 million is due to the fact that some are still being paid under the old tariff system. I have done my best to answer the questions. I thank noble Lords again for supporting this scheme. On Question, Motion agreed to.
