<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> </p><p>The table attached shows
the value outstanding at the end of March each financial year, for the impositions
made in the same year, broken down into a) fines, (b) compensation orders, (c) victim
surcharge orders and (d) prosecution costs. This data is only available from 2011-12
onwards.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The total value outstanding of impositions regardless
of imposition date relating to (a) fines, (b) compensation orders, (c) victim surcharge
orders and (d) prosecution costs orders at the end of each financial year from 2010-11,
as published in the HM Courts and Tribunals Service Trust Statements, are shown in
the table below. The figures for 2009-10 are not available. It is not possible to
break these figures down by local criminal justice board areas without incurring disproportionate
costs.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Financial Years</p></td><td><p>Fines</p></td><td><p>Compensation</p></td><td><p>Victim

</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The ‘value outstanding’ figures in the table attached 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><p> </p><p>It
is not possible to provide figures on the amounts outstanding on fines, compensation
orders, victim surcharge orders and prosecution costs orders in exactly the same format
as the answer given for Question 217822 due to the constraints of the current IT system.</p><p>
