Riot Compensation Bill

Proceeding contribution from David Lammy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 4 December 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Riot Compensation Bill.

Does the hon. Gentleman accept that the areas that experience riots are often the most deprived in our country? In those communities, increasingly, particularly in London—in the constituency of my hon. Friend the Member for Croydon North (Mr Reed), and certainly in mine—many constituents speak English as a second language. I can think of a constituent who had a heart attack after the riots. Forty-two days is still a very short time after experiencing shock of this kind.
