	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2015 answer text <p /> <p>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 penalties collected over the last three years. The amount of money collected reached an all time high of £290 million at the end of 2013/14 and collections continue to rise. In 2013/14 the total outstanding balance of financial impositions reduced by £26.7m (5%) in the year.</p><p> </p><p>The table below shows the value of financial impositions outstanding as at the end of March 2014; the first column of figures represents the balance outstanding of the impositions made during the 2013/14 financial year and the second shows the total value outstanding regardless of imposition date. The ‘in year outstanding value’ is included within the total outstanding value figure.</p><p> </p><p>The ‘value outstanding’ figures include accounts that were not due to be paid by the end of the period specified (either because they were imposed close to the end of the year or because they had payment timescales set by the courts for beyond the end of the financial year) and those that were being paid by instalments on agreed payment plans. These figures include fines, compensation orders, victim surcharge orders and prosecution costs orders.</p><p> </p><table><thead><tr><td><p><strong>Area</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Value outstanding of the impositions made in 2013/14 as at end of March 2014</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total value outstanding regardless of imposition date as at the end of March 2014</strong></p></td></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><p>Avon and Somerset</p></td><td><p>£5,619,129</p></td><td><p>£12,553,883</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Bedfordshire</p></td><td><p>£1,993,428</p></td><td><p>£4,089,206</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Cambridgeshire</p></td><td><p>£2,703,891</p></td><td><p>£7,038,014</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Cheshire</p></td><td><p>£3,399,702</p></td><td><p>£9,244,929</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Cleveland</p></td><td><p>£2,402,047</p></td><td><p>£5,032,666</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Cumbria</p></td><td><p>£2,640,263</p></td><td><p>£4,375,845</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Derbyshire</p></td><td><p>£2,510,078</p></td><td><p>£4,900,253</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Devon and Cornwall</p></td><td><p>£3,156,574</p></td><td><p>£6,884,992</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Dorset</p></td><td><p>£2,310,086</p></td><td><p>£6,195,513</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Durham</p></td><td><p>£1,694,578</p></td><td><p>£3,437,278</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Dyfed Powys</p></td><td><p>£1,655,354</p></td><td><p>£3,339,862</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Essex</p></td><td><p>£5,109,102</p></td><td><p>£11,727,731</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Gloucestershire</p></td><td><p>£1,090,372</p></td><td><p>£3,000,161</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Greater Manchester</p></td><td><p>£13,289,385</p></td><td><p>£36,689,144</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Gwent</p></td><td><p>£2,469,746</p></td><td><p>£4,921,206</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Hampshire &amp; IOW</p></td><td><p>£5,702,306</p></td><td><p>£16,166,430</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Hertfordshire</p></td><td><p>£4,957,126</p></td><td><p>£11,020,506</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Humberside</p></td><td><p>£3,952,318</p></td><td><p>£10,095,165</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Kent</p></td><td><p>£7,019,646</p></td><td><p>£18,527,317</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Lancashire</p></td><td><p>£6,510,390</p></td><td><p>£12,622,950</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Leicestershire</p></td><td><p>£2,635,809</p></td><td><p>£4,459,648</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Lincolnshire</p></td><td><p>£2,845,002</p></td><td><p>£5,008,456</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>London Central &amp; South</p></td><td><p>£21,953,798</p></td><td><p>£51,113,995</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>London North East</p></td><td><p>£11,947,473</p></td><td><p>£30,347,785</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>London North West</p></td><td><p>£12,824,734</p></td><td><p>£32,678,929</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>London South West</p></td><td><p>£687,694</p></td><td><p>£13,433,436</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Merseyside</p></td><td><p>£7,663,814</p></td><td><p>£29,436,895</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Norfolk</p></td><td><p>£2,617,344</p></td><td><p>£6,313,368</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North Wales</p></td><td><p>£2,651,292</p></td><td><p>£5,871,714</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North Yorkshire</p></td><td><p>£1,845,893</p></td><td><p>£3,706,423</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Northamptonshire</p></td><td><p>£2,402,450</p></td><td><p>£5,079,815</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Northumbria</p></td><td><p>£6,458,612</p></td><td><p>£14,394,158</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Nottinghamshire</p></td><td><p>£4,528,741</p></td><td><p>£7,142,505</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South Wales</p></td><td><p>£7,917,616</p></td><td><p>£12,277,550</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South Yorkshire</p></td><td><p>£6,124,833</p></td><td><p>£12,989,876</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Staffordshire</p></td><td><p>£4,494,258</p></td><td><p>£10,973,530</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Suffolk</p></td><td><p>£2,637,989</p></td><td><p>£6,411,105</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Surrey</p></td><td><p>£3,171,345</p></td><td><p>£7,425,288</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sussex</p></td><td><p>£3,823,916</p></td><td><p>£12,189,588</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Thames Valley</p></td><td><p>£6,700,496</p></td><td><p>£18,575,082</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Warwickshire</p></td><td><p>£3,141,110</p></td><td><p>£4,877,725</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>West Mercia</p></td><td><p>£4,537,306</p></td><td><p>£9,479,843</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>West Midlands</p></td><td><p>£11,689,675</p></td><td><p>£30,516,365</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>West Yorkshire</p></td><td><p>£9,630,393</p></td><td><p>£17,079,786</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Wiltshire</p></td><td><p>£1,826,437</p></td><td><p>£5,165,096</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency North West Cambridgeshire answering member printed Mr Shailesh Vara question first answered 13/01/2015 17:25:01 answering member 1496 label Biography information for Shailesh Vara
