§ Mr. LlwydTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the net figure remitted to the Home Office in respect of speeding fines raised by police forces in England and Wales was in(a) 2002 and (b) 2003. [150018]
§ Mr. JamiesonI have been asked to reply.
All fines for speeding offences are paid to the courts. Some revenue from speeding fines resulting from safety camera activity is netted off and returned to local authorities and police forces within safety camera partnerships for the operation of approved safety cameras. The balance is passed to the Consolidated Fund and none are passed to Government Departments.
