HC Deb 30 January 1987 vol 109 cc410-1W
Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what percentage of the penalties exacted by wheel-clamping is retained by the Metropolitan police; how many clamps were imposed in London during the month of December 1986; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

All receipts from charges for wheel-clamping are retained by the Metropolitan police and used to offset the costs of clamping, including the payment of contractors and staff costs. A total of 8,187 vehicles were wheel-clamped during December 1986.
