Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the Government has made an assessment of the potential merits of establishing a fund to reimburse and compensate people affected by damage caused by the recent detonation of a bomb in Exeter.

The provision of Government financial assistance to compensate people affected by damage associated with domestic Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) activity is a matter for the Home Office to consider and address.
