answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2014 answer text <p>Under this Government more money than ever before is being raised from offenders specifically to help victims of crime. This is on top of a range measures introduced since 2010 to ensure victims improve their experience of the CJS. Last year the revamped Victims’ Code was issued to ensure people receive more support when reporting a crime – knowing what will happen from the moment they report a crime to the end of a trial and beyond, as well as who to demand that help from if it is not been offered up.</p><p> </p><p>Next year, victims’ rights to tell the court how their crime has affected them will be set out in statute; a new nationwide Victims’ Information Service will be set up to ensure better information and support; and millions of pounds will be invested in improving the court experience.</p><p> </p><p>Crucially, we will also develop plans to require advocates to undergo specialist training before taking part in sexual abuse or rape trials, which will make going to court easier and less distressing for victims.</p><p> </p><p>The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) does not have figures for the number of applications received or rejected by type of injury. CICA pay awards based on injury descriptions, from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme's 'Tariff of Injuries', these are recorded once CICA have assessed someone as eligible to receive the compensation payable for that injury.</p><p> </p><p>CICA can only produce figures based on awards paid.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2014 answer text <p>The MoJ has set aside around £4m a year since 2011 to fund existing female rape support centres, which also cater for those with historic cases of abuse.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/04/2014 answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>The maximum penalty for speeding is a fine of up to £1,000 and for speeding on a motorway, £2,500. The courts also have the power to disqualify the offender from driving and must in any event endorse the offender's licence by between three and six penalty points. Alternatively, if the police decide that the nature of the offence was less serious, they may offer the motorist the opportunity to receive a fixed penalty notice instead of prosecution. If a fixed penalty is issued, the driver may instead chose to plead innocence or mitigating factors in court, and if convicted, any sentence will be decided within the maximum penalty limit and in line with sentencing guidelines.</p><p> </p><p>The number of persons receiving endorsements only on their driving licence for speeding offences at all courts in England and Wales by police force area from 2008 to 2012 (latest data available) can be viewed in the attached table.</p><p> </p><p>Please note that court proceedings statistics for the year 2013 are planned to be published by the Ministry of Justice in May 2014.</p> answering member constituency Ashford answering member printed Damian Green question first answered 07/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 76 label Biography information for Damian Green attachment 1 file name 192301 - Creagh - Final Response - Speeding.XLS title Table 1
