Speed Limits: Fines

Mrs. Iris Robinson: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how much revenue was generated through the issuing of speeding tickets in (a) each constituency and (b) each council area in Northern Ireland in each of the last 10 years; and how many tickets were issued in each area during that period. [142632]

Paul Goggins: Fixed penalty notices fall into two categories. The first is an endorsable fixed penalty notice which means there will be points placed on the individual’s driving licence (a licence endorsement) as well as a fixed penalty fine. The second is a non-endorsable fixed penalty notice where there is only a fine. Revenue from the latter category is not paid to the PSNI.

Revenue from endorsable fixed penalty notices issued for excess speed is set out as follows.

The two tables take account of the change in policing structures from RUC sub divisions to PSNI district command units.
