Written answers

I can inform the Deputy that under the terms of the Scheme of Compensation for Personal Injuries Criminally Inflicted the Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal is entirely independent in the matter of individual applications that fall to be considered under the Scheme. However, in order to be of assistance in the matter I have had enquiries made with the Tribunal on his behalf.

I understand that the application mentioned by the Deputy is at present under consideration by a Tribunal Member. I am informed that as soon as the Member's decision comes to hand a copy will issue to the person concerned.
