§ Mr. Normantonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proportion of fines imposed on football hooligans are unpaid; for how long; and whether he will now consider taking steps to revise the penalties for convicted offenders.
§ Mr. Alexander W. LyonI regret that information about the proportion of fines imposed for particular offences which remains unpaid is not available. The penalties for criminal offences which may be committed by football hooligans, as for all offences, are kept under review but the maxima are already very substantial.
