The information requested is not available in my Department. Local authorities are independent in the performance of their functions and the elected members are democratically accountable for all expenditure. Details of compensation amounts and insurance claims paid by local authorities are a matter for each local authority. Accordingly, I have no function in relation to the matters raised in the Question.
