§ Mr. BarnesTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department if he will list for each court in Derbyshire, for the last year for which figures are available, how many(a) attachment of earnings orders were issued to collect (i) fines and (ii) reparation orders and (b) orders were made by each court to deduct fines and other money from social security payments. [51093]
§ Mr. HoonThese figures are not collected centrally, and a full answer could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. I have been informed by the Justices' Chief Executive for Derbyshire that currently in the Chesterfield PSD, 54 attachment of earnings orders and 50 orders for deduction from social security payments are in existence, and in the Buxton PSD there are 11 and 6 respectively. I have not been given a breakdown between fines and reparation orders. I have been further informed that it is difficult to extract the number of orders where full payment has been made and the file is now closed.
