HC Deb 01 July 1991 vol 194 cc3-4W
Mr. Sheerman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what information he has on the total amount paid out by police authorities for civil damages since 1982.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

Compensation paid out by police authorities for civil damages under section 48 (2) b of the Police Act 1964 is a matter for the police authority concerned and there is therefore no central record of the total amount paid out by police authorities.
