§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the fact that on 30th 272W June, 1970, there was a sum of £5,434,049 of fines outstanding, he will now state to what extent his review of this situation has resulted in any method of preventing this abuse of the law; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. CarlisleThe figure includes fines, the time for payment of which had not expired. It does not, therefore, carry the implication in the hon. Member's Question.
