HC Deb 03 April 2000 vol 347 cc370-3W
Mr. Gibb

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the revenue from speeding fines (i) nationally and (ii) in each police area in(a) 1992–93, (b) 1993–94, (c) 1994–95, (d) 1995–96, (e) 1996–97, (f) 1997–98 and (g) 1998–99. [116947]

Mr. Charles Clarke

Information on the revenue raised from speeding fines is not available.

However, the table shows the total amount of fines ordered to be paid following conviction for speeding offences. As the majority of such offences are dealt with by the issue of a fixed penalty, the table also shows the total amount of fixed penalties ordered to be paid. The readily available information relates to the calendar years 1992 to 1997. Information for 1998 and 1999 is not yet available.

Not all fines and fixed penalties will have been paid.
