Louisa Compton | 17:49 PM, Tuesday, 12 May 2009

Today Victoria spoke to Mumbai terror attacks survivors - Will Pike and his girlfriend Kelly Doyle, and Will's dad Nigel.

Will has been told he'll never walk again because of injuries sustained when he escaped through a hotel bedroom window.
If he had been a victim of a terrorist attack in the UK - he'd be eligible to up to £500,000 compensation from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority, but because it all happened abroad in India, he's only eligible for a £15,000 grant from a Red Cross Fund. Later in the show, Tessa Jowell the minister responsible for victims of international terrorism told Victoria that the government were committed to doing something about this - she promised to come back onto the show once they've worked out what kind of compensation can be given to Will and other victims of international terrorism.
