§ Mr. Stratton Millsasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will introduce legislation to amend the Malicious Damage Acts whereby individuals who have had to leave their houses through intimidation and who are then unable to sell their houses at a proper price may claim compensation accordingly.
§ Mr. ChannonNo. The Criminal Injuries Acts in Northern Ireland deal with compensation for malicious damage to property by an unlawful assembly or 233W association and it would not be appropriate to widen that legislation to include cases where no damage to property was caused.
