HC Deb 26 November 1981 vol 13 c437W
20. Mr. Marks

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what claims he has received from police authorities for grant towards cost of damage due to riots.

Mr. Mayhew

The settlement of claims for riots damage is a matter for the local authorities themselves. Guidance about the submission of claims for the special grant offered by central Government is being prepared in consultation with the local authority associations and will be issued shortly.
