§ Mr. O'HaraTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what discussions he has had, and what provision he has made in his budget, in relation to the victims of crime who will no longer be sufficiently compensated by the tariff scheme of the criminal injuries compensation scheme to be able to be independent of state benefits.
§ Mr. BurtNone. A wide range of income-related benefits are paid to those whose income falls below a level set each year by Parliament. There are no cash limits to the income-related benefit budget as payment is made to all those who qualify.
