Riot Compensation Bill

Proceeding contribution from Steve Reed (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 4 December 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Riot Compensation Bill.

Was the hon. Gentleman referring to the case in Croydon North of Mr and Mrs Hassan? They had recently bought a dry cleaning business with old dry cleaning machines. It was burned to the ground, but because they were offered only like-for-like funding they could not re-establish their business or get their livelihood going again. They went into serious arrears and were threatened with the loss of their home because they could not pay the mortgage. Surely that is unacceptable and needs to change.
