§ Mr. SheermanTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many victims received compensation of between £750 and £1,000 from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board for the last year for which figures are available; and what percentage this was of the total number of victims who received compensation.
§ Mr. John PattenDetails of awards made by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board within various bands are given in the board's published annual reports. Copies are held in the Library.
The precise number of awards between £750 and £1,000 is not available, but the estimated figure for 1990–91 is 5,760, which represents 16.4 per cent. of all awards made.
