§ Mr. Sillarsasked the Minister of State for Defence if he will state the total amounts of compensation paid to relatives of British Servicemen killed while on duty in Northern Ireland, and to British Servicemen seriously injured or disabled while on duty in Northern Ireland, to the nearest convenient date.
§ Lord BalnielThe source of compensation for the dependants of soldiers killed whilst on duty in Northern Ireland and soldiers who are injured whilst on duty there may vary according to the circumstances. I regret that I cannot provide 371W a figure for the total amount of compensation paid so far, but I am writing to the hon. Member to explain the arrangements in detail.
