HL Deb 10 November 2003 vol 654 c153WA
Lord Laird

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord President on 14 October (WA 104) on promoting understanding among all sections of the community, whether they have a policy to reduce the need for payments from the Northern Ireland Compensation Agency. [HL4882]

Baroness Amos

There is no government policy focused specifically on reducing the need for payments under the compensation schemes. However, I would refer the noble Lord to my previous Written Answer, which explained that the implementation of a range of government policies should have the cumulative effect of reducing the need for payments under these schemes.
