HC Deb 09 May 1957 vol 569 cc84-5W
58. Mr. H. Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what examination he is giving to the possibility of increasing fines imposed by statute in view of the fall in the value of money.

Mr. R. A. Butler:

The question whether small fines fixed by statute, particularly those fixed some years ago, should be increased is one to which I am giving my attention.
