Mr. Lee
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what guidelines are being followed in the payment of compensation to civil bodies and individuals in the Falkland Islands for damage and injury related to the recent conflict.
Mr. Onslow
The guidelines for the payment of compensation for civil losses in the Falkland Islands are set out in an explanatory leaflet which has been made available to the islanders and other potential claimants. Copies of the leaflet have been placed in the Library of the House.The scheme is now well advanced; over £1·3 million has already been paid out.
