Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much was raised in fines for road traffic offences in (a) 2009-10 and (b) 2013-14.

This Government takes recovery and enforcement of financial impositions very seriously and remains committed to finding new ways to ensure impositions are paid and to trace those who do not pay. This is why there has been a year on year increase in the amount of financial penalties collected over the last three years.

It is not possible to state how much was collected for specific offences without incurring disproportionate costs as this answer could only be provided by a manual search of all live and closed fine accounts.
