answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2019 answer text <p>My officials and I have engaged, and continue to engage, with the motor insurance industry and other relevant departments to ensure that both the Government and insurance sector are prepared for every eventuality.</p><p> </p><p>We have discussed the need for any financial support with the motor insurance industry, in particular the Motor Insurers’ Bureau, in preparation for a ‘no deal’ scenario. However, the cost to the industry of providing their customers with Green Cards as proof of third party motor insurance while abroad in the event of ‘no deal’ is expected to be minimal and financial support offered by the Government has not been deemed necessary by the industry at this stage. Green Cards are provided to motorists free-of-charge by their insurers, although they may choose to reflect production and handling costs through a small increase to their administration fees depending on demand.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>It should be noted that the UK continues to meet all of the requirements for remaining part of the Green Card-free circulation zone and we continue to urge the European Commission to issue an implementing decision that would ensure UK motorists can drive in the EU without a Green Card and vice versa.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling grouped question UIN 211723 211728 question first answered 29/01/2019 16:02:12 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Lord Grayling

A person guilty of this offence is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 4 on the standard scale or twice the sum which appears to the court to be the value of the tree, whichever is the higher.

The level 4 fine maximum at present is £2,500.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Since 1982, the standard scale has been revised as follows:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Level:</p></td><td><p>1982:</p></td><td><p>1992 (as amended by the Criminal Justice Act 1991):</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>£25</p></td><td><p>£200</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2</p></td><td><p>£50</p></td><td><p>£500</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>3</p></td><td><p>£200</p></td><td><p>£1,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>4</p></td><td><p>£500</p></td><td><p>£2,500</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>5</p></td><td><p>£1,000</p></td><td><p>£5,000</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p> answering member constituency North Cornwall answering member printed Dan Rogerson question first answered 28/10/2014 14:48:32 answering member 1504 label Biography information for Dan Rogerson
