HC Deb 18 April 1988 vol 131 c325W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects to come to a decision on whether to introduce a unitary or day fines system in Scotland.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

This is one of several proposals which we shall consider when we have the results of the current study of the effectiveness of the 15 fines officers appointed to work in the sheriff courts, which we expect to receive in the near future.
