HC Deb 15 April 1970 vol 799 c240W
49. Mr. Wright

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland why the Scottish estimates for the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board for 1970–71 are one-fifth of the estimates for England and Wales, in view of the fact that Scotland's population is about one-tenth that of England and Wales.

Mr. Ross

Because Scots have been displaying a greater awareness of the Scheme than the English or the Welsh.
