Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many deduction of earning orders for payment of compensation orders have not been placed within the three-month target period in each year since 2010.

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 total amount of financial impositions collected over the last three years.

It is not possible to identify how many deductions from benefits orders or attachment of earnings orders have been used for the recovery of compensation without incurring disproportionate cost as this information can only be obtained by a manual search of all live and closed financial imposition accounts.
