Proceeding contribution from Baroness Smith of Malvern (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 March 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on International Terrorism.


International Terrorism

My right hon. Friend is right to be impassioned about the safety of people both in this country and overseas. A specific part of the strategy is to protect our interests here and overseas, but I understand that he is making a specific point about compensation. We already provide considerable assistance, but I will reflect on his points about a compensation system for those harmed in terrorist attacks overseas, and discuss them with colleagues.
