Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what proportion of court compensation orders were paid to the victim within one month; and what the average length of time is between the imposition of an order and payment.

The information requested is not held centrally. However, according to our Trust Statement, the amount of compensation imposed and collected has risen steadily over recent years. In 2013-14 £30,720,000 was imposed and £28,414,000 collected, increasing to £46,021,000 imposed and £41,420,000 collected in 2016-17.
