Criminal Injuries Compensation

Written Question House of Commons
Sir Desmond Swayne · Conservative Answering body: Ministry of Justice
Parliamentary excerpt

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he has plans to remove the same roof rule from the criminal injuries compensations scheme.

Government answer

Answering body: Ministry of Justice

We are determined to make sure every victim gets the compensation to which they are entitled.

The Justice Secretary announced, in the cross-government victims strategy published yesterday [on 10 September], a full review of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme to ensure it reflects the changing nature of crime and can better support victims. The review will consider how the Scheme might better serve victims - especially victims of child sexual abuse – and take account of the interim findings and recommendations made by the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA.)

We also committed within the victims strategy to remove the pre-1979 ‘same roof rule’.
