Proceeding contribution from James Gray (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on Defence in the UK.
Defence in the UK
I am grateful to the Minister for giving way as I did not explain myself clearly. When a member of the services dies, a standard amount—I think that it is £40,000—is always paid to the bereaved family, but it is delayed until the end of the inquest. Could we not pay that standard amount as soon as a death occurs, with any uplift arising from the result of the inquest being paid later?
