HC Deb 04 July 1979 vol 969 c644W
Mr. Wheeler

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the average cost per case of courts seeking to recover fines or duty when these are not paid within the period so ordered by the courts.

Mr. Alison

The cost of collecting fines and other sums treated as fines is not distinguishable from other costs relating to the administration of the law and the courts service.
