Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Paul Maynard (Conservative). It was answered on Monday, 12 December 2011 on behalf of the Home Office.
Riot (Damages) Act 1886
- Question
- Many of the people who have made claims under the 1886 Act have done so because of damage to their motor vehicles, but in 1886 the car had only been invented for a year. Can the Minister assure me that his review takes into account all the possible forms of damage so that no one will be excluded?
- Answer
-
It is true that uninsured vehicles are not covered by the Act, as no one envisaged the need for them to be. They would be covered if they were on private property, but not if they were in a public place. Of course, if vehicles are insured, a claim can be made against the insurers. This is one of the issues that we shall have to consider in the review.
