CRIMINAL INJURIES COMPENSATION SCHEME

Early day motion 2146, tabled 17 October 2007 by Ian Taylor (Conservative). Signed by 48 members.

That this House believes that the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme should be amended to reflect the true cost to the lives of those injured in terrorist attacks in mainland Britain; notes that some victims of the 7th July 2005 bombings in London have yet to receive full compensation or have received minimal offers of compensation by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority; and calls on the Government to respond to the Green Paper `Rebuilding Lives' and uprate the limit of £500,000 and tariffs set in 1996.
