section 193B of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1975; and how many of these fines have been (a) less than £10,000, (b) more than £10,000 but not exceeding £20,000, (c) exceeding £20,000 but not exceeding £50,000 and (d) exceeding £50,000.

Mr. Rifkind

Section 193B of the 1975 Act came into force on 30 December 1985. Provisional figures for January to September 1986 show that seven persons were fined by Scottish courts for offences under sections 4(2), 4(3) or 5(3) of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, in addition to sentences of imprisonment following proceedings on indictment. Of these, six were fined less than £10,000 and one was fined between £10,000 and £20,000. Information on the fines imposed for other offences mentioned in section 193B is not available.

Mr. Dewar

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland in how many cases a fine imposed under section 193B of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1975 has been paid in full; and in how many cases an additional term of imprisonment has been imposed as a result of non-payment.

Mr. Rifkind

I regret that this information is not collected centrally.
