HC Deb 24 May 1974 vol 874 c303W
Mr. Miscampbell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in view of his forecast of possible future car bombs in Great Britain, he will consider taking steps to provide compensation to car owners for material damage, as is now given in Northern Ireland.

Dr. Summerskill

No. The situation in Northern Ireland is quite different from that in Great Britain, because of the scale of bomb attacks and the consequent difficulty of arranging insurance cover.
