§ Mr. Bullasked the Home Secretary what arrangements have been made to compensate persons injured or the dependants of those killed as the result of the Irish Republican Army activities in this country; and whether any arrangements have yet been made to compensate those persons who were injured in the bomb explosions on Tuesday, 6th February?
§ Sir J. AndersonWhile I have the deepest sympathy for those who have been injured and the relatives of those who have been killed. I regret that there606W are no funds at my disposal out of which I could authorise any payment to the injured or to the relatives of those who have been killed. The four persons injured in the bomb explosion on Tuesday, 6th February, are established servants of the Post Office and are eligible for sick leave in the first instance with full pay, and subsequently with pay at a reduced rate, or weekly payments under the Workmen's Compensation Acts, whichever is the more favourable.
