HC Deb 30 July 1981 vol 9 c532W
Mr. Marks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will assist those county councils which will face financial difficulties because of riot damage by making a contribution to them on a similar basis to that made when storms and floods create similar problems.

Mr. King

We will certainly consider sympathetically the case of any authority which faces an undue financial burden locally as a result of riot damage.
