Mr. Dismore
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he is taking to adjust the budget for the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority for 2002–03. [99614]
Hilary Benn
An additional £25 million is being provided for the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme in the Spring Supplementary Estimate, published on 28 February. This will increase the 2002–03 resource budget for compensation to £208 million, sufficient to meet the liabilities accruing from compensation awards offered within that financial year.
