§ Mr. Knoxasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the total amount collected in fines for parking offences through the operation of traffic wardens in London in each of the past five years.
§ Mr. CarlisleI regret that this information is not readily available. The total fixed penalties collected by the Fixed Penalty Office in London in each of the past five years (which include penalties in respect of some offences other than parking offences) were as follows:
£ 1968 … … … … 501,716 1969 … … … … 708,606 1970 … … … … 802,557 1971 … … … … 1,094,084 1972 … … … … 1,441,592 The figures for these years are not directly comparable as before April 1970 fixed penalty payments collected in the four Outer London Commission Areas were dealt with separately.
