HC Deb 10 February 1989 vol 146 cc822-3W
Mr. Sedgemore

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the income for the latest available year from parking fines and wheel clamps in London; and what targets he has for the next five years.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

It is estimated that fixed penalty payments in respect of parking offences in London produced revenue of around £20 million to £25 million in 1987, and that income from fines imposed following court proceedings amounted to a further £250,000.

The Metropolitan police received £2,710,548 from wheel-clamping charges in the 1987–88 financial year, and the City of London received £100,250 from wheel-clamping charges in 1988.

We do not have targets for income of this nature.
