§ Lord Wiseasked Her Majesty's Government:
What was the number of unpaid parking fines incurred by each diplomatic mission in London during 1991.
The Earl of CaithnessThe information is given in the table. The table also includes those international organisations which incurred unpaid fines. The figures may be reduced by late payment. The total of 1991 (5,145) indicates a 22 per cent. reduction over the total 1990 figure (6,551) and is only 5 per cent. of the 1984 figure (108,932), the last to be published before the introduction in May 1985 of the Government's policy on parking by members of diplomatic missions. We welcome the further reduction in unpaid parking fines that has been achieved during 1991 and appreciate the co-operation of diplomatic missions since the introduction of the parking policy. We shall continue to monitor carefully the level of unpaid fines and bring pressure to bear on diplomatic missions to reduce this still further.
