§ Mr. SpellarTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department in how many cases in the last year for which figures are available the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board paid out compensation where a conviction had not been secured.
§ Mr. MacleanI regret that this information is not available. The Criminal Injuries Compensation Board does not collate information in such a way as to distinguish cases in which there has been a conviction for the crime giving rise to the claim for compensation.
