HC Deb 16 December 1986 vol 107 cc444-8W
Mr. Wheeler

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will publish up-to-date figures indicating, in numerical order, the number of unpaid parking fines incurred by each diplomatic mission in the last two quarters for which figures are available.

Mr. Eggar

The information requested by my hon. Friend is given in the following table. The figures, and the order in which missions are listed, may be altered by late payments. The table also includes those international organisations which have incurred unpaid fines.

The annual rate for the most recent quarter was 23,348 or only 21 per cent. of the total for 1984 (108,932). We welcome this very significant improvement and hope it will be continued in the future.
