HC Deb 10 February 1975 vol 886 c33W
Mr. Dodsworth

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what are the compensation arrangements for those injured as a result of bomb incidents whilst at work, with particular reference to the insurance position.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

Those injured in bombing incidents—whether at work or elsewhere—may apply for compensation under the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme. Those who are injured at work may be eligible for social security benefits. Insurance arrangements will vary from case to case, but the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme enables compensation to be paid for loss of earnings.
