alan bates, tony downey and tim brendel answering about the compensation scheme.o it. he said just get on and pay the people. mr bates told mps that so far the way compensation was being dealt with was very dissapointing and couldn't see any end to it. mr bates also said that the money shouldn't be called "compensation" rather it should be "financial redress". he told mps this is money these people are actually owed and they've been owed it for years. he also said those making decisions on compensation do not meet victims face to face. at the end, he did joke that members of his organisation could stand as mp5 to sort it out once and for all. tony downey talked about how he had to sell his business and then went bankrupt. and talked about how the application for compensation was "difficult" especially trying to get information some of it from 20 years ago. that was a point also brought up by tim brentnall saying he hadn't got all the documents from 15 years ago. he said his claim is "almost ready to go in", but was sceptical about how quickly it will be responded
