HC Deb 07 June 1989 vol 154 cc180-1W
26. Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how long it takes the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board in Scotland to deal with a typical application.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

Since the criminal injuries compensation scheme operates on a Great Britain basis, information in this form is not available. Details of the time taken by the board to resolve cases were provided in the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Isle of Wight (Mr. Field) on 20 January 1989, at column 350, by my right hon. Friend the Minister of State, Home Office.
