An official inquiry found the National Coal Board was responsible for the Aberfan disaster, but survivors and bereaved families have pointed to a litany of injustices. It added: "The taxpayer-funded Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme paid out over £180m last year to support brave survivors of violent crime, including those whose lives have been devastated by appalling terror attacks. "We have also established a support hub for victims and survivors of terrorism, which will help victims to make their own applications." "Really sad fact that victims and their families were forced" to hold feet to the fire in order to seek truth and justice. The burden of seeking truth and justice should rest on the system.
