I refer the hon. Gentleman to the reply my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary gave to my hon. Friend Mrs. Gillan on 9 February 2004, Hansard, column 1254W.

Historical information about the amount of compensation paid and the number of applications received during one year under the state compensation schemes in each EU member state was given at paragraph 3.8 of the European Commission's Green Paper, 'Compensation to crime victims' (reference COM(2001)536) issued on 28 September 2001. The paper can be accessed via the Internet at: http://europa.eu.int/comm/off/green/index en.htm.
