Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Simon Hughes and Steve McCabe

Tuesday 6th May 2014 Commons Chamber

[The Minister of State, Ministry of Justice (Simon Hughes)]

I am grateful for my hon. Friend’s continuing interest in this issue. I hope that we will be able to publish something before we break for the summer and elicit responses after that.

[Steve McCabe (Birmingham, Selly Oak) (Lab)]

Has the Secretary of State looked at the damages awarded to triple killer Kevan Thakrar? Does he have any plans to change the rules so that serious offenders cannot profit from such compensation claims?
