§ Sir John WheelerTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has reached a decision on the setting of new levels of fixed penalties for road traffic offences.
§ Mr. Kenneth BakerAfter considering the results of the consultation exercise on the level of fixed penalties, I have decided that the new penalty levels should be £40 for offences involving obligatory endorsement; £40 for illegal parking on a red route; £30 for illegal parking in London 343W outside the red routes and £20 for illegal parking elsewhere and for all other non-endorsable offences. These penalty levels will be brought into effect from 1 April 1992. A statutory instrument subject to the negative resolution procedure will be laid in due course.
