HC Deb 08 June 1972 vol 838 cc126-7W
50. Rev. Ian Paisley

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he is aware of the hardship caused to the people of the Sandy Row area of Belfast by terrorist bomb blasts; why adequate compensation has not been available to these victims for the repair of their homes; and if he will announce steps to remedy this matter.

Mr. Channon

My right hon. Friend is fully aware of, and deeply regrets the hardship which has been inflicted on all sections of the community in Northern Ireland by terrorist bombs. The Sandy Row area covers a number of streets. If the hon. Member can quote specific cases of delay in providing first-aid repairs or compensation, I should be pleased to look into them urgently.
