HC Deb 15 May 1975 vol 892 cc168-9W
Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the total amount of fines imposed by sheriff courts in Scotland which had not yet been received by 31st March 1975.

Mr. William Ross

This figure is not yet available but I shall write to my hon. Friend in a few weeks' time when it is. I regret that in answer to a similar Question from my hon. Friend on 12th February—[Vol. 886, c. 363–4]—the amount of fines imposed by sheriff courts in Scotland but not yet received at 31st March 1974 was mistakenly given as £403,232 instead of £616,287.
