HC Deb 08 February 1999 vol 325 cc59-60W
Sir Robert Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how much money has been raised by fixed penalty speeding fines; and what was the annual cost of administering them in each of the last three years for which figures are available. [69020]

Mr. McLeish

Information on the amount raised by fixed penalty speeding fines and on the administration costs is not available in the form requested. However, £3.2 million was received by district courts in Scotland in 1997–98 for fixed penalty notices for endorsable traffic offences, which included speeding offences.

From 1 July 1999, this will be a matter for the Scottish Parliament.
