§ 29. Mr. Dribergasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how soon he expects to introduce legislation providing for compensation, by the State and by those convicted of crimes of violence and of fraud, to the victims of these crimes.
§ Mr. BrookeI am closely considering the question of compensation for victims of crimes of violence, but am not yet in a position to make a statement. There are no proposals before me for compensation in respect of other crimes.
