answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2017 answer text <p>UK Missions overseas aim to support families of UK citizens murdered abroad in a variety of ways. This includes providing important information about the local police and legal system, and what to expect at court hearings. Officials can also attend the first and last day of a trial and be present at the verdict; and can make or suggest appropriate representations to the local authorities if there are concerns that the investigation or judicial process is not being carried out in line with local laws or procedures.</p><p>We will consider intervening to make representations to the local authorities if there are concerns that an investigation is not being carried out in line with local procedures; if there are justified complaints about discrimination against the person involved; or where we judge that a local delay or decision creates significant distress for those involved. However we do not interfere in investigations or judicial processes of a country, just as we expect them not to interfere with investigations or judicial processes in the UK. It is therefore important that families consider appointing a local lawyer who can offer legal advice on local police and judicial processes, represent their interests in court and raise any concerns they may have.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 06/02/2017 16:57:35 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2015 answer text The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) provides a range of support to bereaved families after the murder of a British National abroad, but does not normally offer financial assistance. We do however provide funding to specialist external partners, Lucie Blackman Trust and Victim Support, who can provide practical support to bereaved families. This help takes many forms, but can include securing financial help. answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 13/07/2015 14:04:48 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2015 answer text In cases of terrorism, the Statutory Victims of Terrorism Scheme covers both fatal and personal injury applications, and is administered by the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA). The latter, reporting to the Ministry of Justice, has received 18 applications related to fatalities since its introduction, on 27 November 2012, and has paid £228,807 across eight successful claims, with seven claims still in process. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office does not provide compensation to the families of British nationals murdered abroad, but does provide advice when there is a relevant local compensation scheme in the country concerned. answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 13/07/2015 14:09:38 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
