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.

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for being so generous with his time. He mentions compensation being paid to victims. Is he aware that when local communities came together to raise and distribute funds to support businesses, families and individuals who had been financially affected by the riots, those funds were then deducted from the more official compensation payments? Does he agree that that was completely wrong and went against the intentions of people who generously donated to help their fellow citizens recover from the terrible circumstances in which they found themselves?
