HC Deb 30 June 1986 vol 100 c374W
Mr. Kaufman

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much compensation has been (a) claimed and (b) paid in respect of damages from not in the Handsworth and Lozells areas of Birmingham; how many such claims were received; and how many remain outstanding.

Mr. Giles Shaw

The West Midlands police authority is the relevant compensation authority for outstanding claims under the Riot (Damages) Act 1886 arising from the Handsworth disorders in September 1985. The Home Office is not involved in the processing of claims.
