HC Deb 16 May 1996 vol 277 cc574-5W
Ms Roseanna Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list for each district council in Scotland the amounts collected by the district courts in each year since 1991; and of those how much was (i) remitted to the Queen's and Lord Treasurer's Remembrancer and (ii) retained by each district council. [29660]

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

The information requested has been collected centrally only for the last two years. The table sets out the figures, provided by district courts, for the financial years ending 1994 and 1995 and relates to district councils before 1 April 1996. The basis on which the figures were compiled differed slightly each year and are therefore directly comparable.

Column 1 shows by local authority area the total value of revenue, including fines imposed by the court, fixed penalties, registered and fiscal fines received by the court each year. Column 2 details the value of fines passed to the Crown Office for onward transmission to the Queen's and Lord Treasurer's Remembrancer and column 3 lists the sums retained by each local authority.
