Lord Fearn

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the total number of speeding lines imposed by Lancashire Police Force in (a) 2001 and (b) 2002 to date; and [HL552]

What is the total number of speeding lines imposed by Merseyside Police Force in (a) 2001 and (b) 2002 to date. [HL553]

Lord Falconer of Thoroton

The table shows the total number of fines ordered to be paid following conviction for speeding offences within Lancashire and Merseyside police forces for 2000. As the majority of such offences are dealt with by the issue of a fixed penalty, the table also shows the total number of fixed penalty notices issued. Information for 2001 will be available early in 2003.
