Riot Compensation Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Bates (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Friday, 26 February 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Riot Compensation Bill.

Perhaps that was not the best word to use. I am trying to recall the figure but I think that about 4,000 people have had their claims settled. Whenever there is an occurrence of this kind there will of course be significant disputes, often between the insurers and the authorities, about where liability rests. It may be that an individual has been compensated but the insurer is seeking to recover the amount. However, I will certainly look into that because, if matters have not been dealt with swiftly, the intention is that they certainly should be in future.
