HC Deb 01 April 1974 vol 871 c272W
Mr. Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is satisfied with existing provisions for the compensation of victims of crime.

Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

My right hon. Friend is satisfied that existing statutory provisions for the compensation of victims of crime by offenders go as far as is practicable for the present and that the courts are making good use of them. The Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme is currently under review.
