HC Deb 10 February 1982 vol 17 c383W
Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if any outstanding amounts of money are owed to the De Lorean Car Co Ltd of Dunmurry, Northern Ireland, for compensation arising from fire bomb damage or any other similar incidents; if there are any outstanding sums; when it is expected such claims will be settled; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Adam Butler

[pursuant to his reply, 9 February 1982, Vol. 17, c. 325]: A claim under the Criminal Damage (Compensation) (Northern Ireland) Order 1977 for damage to property on 5 May 1981 was valued at £425,327 and has been paid. Other claims of a minor nature arising from incidents on 6 to 15 May, 9 July and 1 August 1981 have been made but, in the absence of the necessary claim details, have not been paid.

In addition to the claim for damage on 5 May 1981, the company recently made a claim for consequential loss in the sum of approximately £10.5 million. This claim is still being considered.
