<p>In respect of PQ 6900, I refer the honourable member to the answer given to PQ
6393 on 28 July 2017.</p><p>The table below provides the information requested in
PQ 6908, which can be found at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications?departments%5B%5D=criminal-injuries-compensation-authority"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications?departments%5B%5D=criminal-injuries-compensation-authority</a>:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Number
of claims received by CICA</p></td><td><p>Successful claims</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015/16</p></td><td><p>32,415</p></td><td><p>13,266</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016/17</p></td><td><p>31,563</p></td><td><p>13,866</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p>Claims that were successful in each of the two years were not necessarily received
within those financial years. Therefore the number in the third column does not necessarily
relate to the same group of cases as is listed in the second column.</p><p> </p><p>In
respect of PQ 6901, a victim who is aged 16 or under at the time of the offence can
make a claim to the CICA. Usually if they are still under 16 at the time they apply
to CICA the parent or other person with parental responsibility for the child should
complete an application on their behalf.</p>
