All offenders recalled to custody will have breached one or more of the conditions of their licence (including those on life licence and the Home Detention Curfew scheme). We do not hold a comprehensive breakdown of reasons for recall prior to April 2007. The number of offenders recalled in each of the last 12 months together with the number recalled following a charge for a further offence since April 2007 is provided in the table as follows.

As at 2007	Number of offenders recalled	Number recalled for further charges
January	1,234	—
February	1,147	—
March	1,196	—
April	957	246
May	1,025	223
June	1,155	261
July	1,183	272

Robbery: Children

Mr. Spring: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many children were charged or cautioned for robbery in (a) the east of England and (b) Suffolk in each of the last five years. [183385]

Maria Eagle: The number of children aged 10 to 17 given reprimands and final warnings in (a) the east of England and (b) Suffolk for the years 2002 to 2006 can be found in table 1.

From 1 June 2000 the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 came into force nationally and removed the use of cautions for persons under 18 and replaced them with reprimands and final warnings. These figures show the total for final warnings and reprimands which make up cautions.

Information on charging is not reported to the Ministry of Justice, but proceeded against data have been provided in table 2.

Speed Limits: Fines

Mr. Evans: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice (1) how much revenue has been raised by (a) Lancashire county council, (b) Ribble Valley borough council, (c) Preston city council, (d) Blackburn with Darwen borough council, (e) South Ribble borough council and (f) Lancashire constabulary from speed camera fines in each of the last five years; [182688]

(2) how many fines from speed cameras were (a) unpaid and (b) overdue in Lancashire county council area at the most recent date for which figures were available. [182690]

Maria Eagle: Available information from 2001 to 2005 (latest available) is provided in the following table. 2006 data will be available later this year.

Information on revenue from speed camera convictions is not collected centrally.

The information collected by my department identifies the number of fixed penalties ordered to be paid and the number and amounts of court fines issued for each offences within each police force area. Fixed penalties that remain unpaid after the statutory period
4 Feb 2008 : Column 947W
(28 days in the case of a fixed penalty resulting from unattended camera operation) are registered as fines at one and half times the original fixed penalty amount.

The overall payment rate for fines in general for the period April to December 2007 is 92 per cent. Court

systems measure whether all fines are paid. They do not break this down to those that originate from speeding Fixed Penalty Notices, so this information is not available.

Fixed penalty notices issued( 1) and court imposed fines( 2,3) for speed limit offences detected by camera( 4,5) , within Lancashire police force area, 2001-05

(1) Only covers notices paid where there is no further action. (2) May include cases where a fixed penalty notice was issued and not paid and referred to court. (3) Magistrates courts data only. Fines given at the Crown court total nationally (England and Wales) less than 20 each year. (4) Offences under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and the Motor Vehicles (Speed Limits on Motorways) Regulations 1973. (5) Data are for all camera types. (6) £60 for a fixed penalty charge if paid. Notes: 1. It is known that for some police force areas, the reporting of court proceedings in particular those relating to summary motoring offences are less than complete. 2. Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative systems generated by the courts and police forces. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their limitations are taken into account when those data are used.

Jenny Willott: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many (a) juvenile and (b) young offenders were in each secure accommodation in each month of each year since 1997; and if he will make a statement. [182638]

Mr. Hanson: The following tables show the number of juveniles and young adults detained in (a) each prison establishment in England and Wales as at 30 June of each year since 1997 and (b) each Secure Children’s Home and Secure Training Centre in England and Wales as at 30 June of each year since 2000.

These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems, which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing.
