| 'Not covered' | |
| Mr Lakin urged the government to do more to compensate the survivors and families of victims of terrorism abroad. | |
| "We want the government to do something to support the victims of terrorism because travel insurance and other things that you think are in place aren't there for you," he said. | |
| "In fact, there's nothing. They've got the criminal injuries compensation scheme so if happens here, in London, Manchester, anywhere in the UK, it's paid for by our taxes. | |
| "But our taxes don't cover you if you step on a plane and go overseas." | |
| Chancellor Gordon Brown announced in this year's Budget an initial £1m towards setting up a charitable fund to support UK victims of terrorism at home and abroad. | |
| Only people affected by terrorism on UK soil are eligible for compensation and support from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority. | |
