§ Lord Colwynasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will publish the number of unpaid parking fines incurred by each doplomatic mission in London during 1987.
§ Lord GlenarthurThe information is given in the table below. The table also includes those international organisations which have incurred unpaid fines. The figures may be reduced by late payment.
The total for 1987 (14,437) indicates a 35 per cent. reduction over the total 1986 figure (22,331) and is only 13 per cent. of the 1984 figure (108,845)—the last to be published before the introduction of our policy on parking by members of diplomatic missions in May 1985.
We welcome the further reduction in unpaid parking fines that has been achieved during 1987 and appreciate the co-operation of diplomatic missions since the introduction of the parking policy. We shall, however, continue to monitor carefully the level of unpaid fines, and bring pressure to bear on diplomatic missions further to reduce this.
