Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme Review
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether her Department plans to respond to the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme Review 2020, published on 16 July 2020.
Answered by Alex Davies-Jones
The previous Government held three consultations, in 2020, 2022 and 2023, as part of its review of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme 2012. It did not publish a response to these consultations prior to the 2024 election.
This Government is looking at how we can best support victims of crime. As part of this we are considering the previous review of the Scheme, and further updates will be provided in due course.
