---------------------------------------
The first payments for victims of the
London bombs have been sent out under a
Home Office-funded compensation scheme.
The Criminal Injuries Compensation
Authority has existed since 1964 and is
run in England, Scotland and Wales.
Its supporters argue that the sum given
to bereaved families, for which it
receives most criticism, should not be
seen as the value of a life but as a
"token of public sympathy".
