I am sorry to have to inform you that a rounding error was made in our response to PQ252551 and 252552. In checking that figure, we have also noted several other rounding errors. I therefore set out corrected figures relating to the Victim Surcharge provided in response to these PQs and PQ280263.<\/p>

The Victim and Witness Budget, which is used to fund support service for victims and witnesses, is set each year and includes a forecasted contribution from revenue raised through the Victim Surcharge. Between 2015/16 and 2018/19 the revenue raised from the Surcharge surpassed the forecasted contribution, so the excess was put towards compensating victims of violent crime through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme. However, we have now changed our procedures so that from this financial year, all revenue raised will be included in the Surcharge contribution to Victim and Witness Budget.<\/p>

Income from the Victim Surcharge contributes to the Ministry of Justices\u2019 Victim and Witness Budget (\u201cthe Budget\u201d). This budget is used to fund Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) who commission local support services for victims, and nationally commissioned support services including the National Homicide Service, Rape Support Centres, and the Court Based Witness Service. Income from the Victim Surcharge is forecast into the Budget at the beginning of each financial year. However, actual income raised from the Surcharge will fluctuate each year (depending on the amount imposed and collection rates). Should revenue raised from the Surcharge go above the forecast amount, the excess is put towards compensating victims through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme.<\/p>

The figures shown in the table below are cumulative amounts outstanding at the end of each year.<\/p>

<\/p>

Receipts received in relation to an imposition is applied to the defendant\u2019s account using a strict statutory hierarchy which ensures that any compensation owed by the defendant is cleared before any other element such as victim surcharge.<\/p>

<\/p>

There are a number of other reasons why the amounts can remain outstanding for a long period of time, such as; agreed instalment plans; defendant cannot be traced; changes in the defendant\u2019 disposable income circumstances and; the defendant serving a prison sentence and no longer having any income.\u201d<\/p>

The value of Victim Surcharge collected in England and Wales in 2016 is £29,913,310.<\/p>

It is not possible to identify how much of that was from motoring offences in any specific year without incurring disproportionate costs as the data could only be collated by a manual search of all accounts.<\/p>

The Government is committed to help victims cope with, and, as far as possible, recover from crime. This year, the Ministry of Justice is allocating c.£97m (including all revenue from the Victim Surcharge) to fund support services for victims of crime. The majority of the Department\u2019s Victims\u2019 Services budget goes to Police and Crime Commissioners (c.£68m) to deliver support services for victims of crime in their local areas. Victims of road crime are entitled to support from these services based on need in the same way as victims of other crime, and the Ministry of Justice does not ringfence its funding to PCCs for support in this area. PCCs can fund specific support services for road crime victims, and the Ministry of Justice funds BRAKE nationally for support to families bereaved by road crime (c.£110k in 2017/18).<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4538", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Keen of Elie"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-11-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-11-06T17:41:05.773Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-10-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Fines: Surcharges"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government how much money was raised by the Victim Surcharge in England and Wales in 2016; how much of that was from motoring offences; and how that funding was allocated to support victims of motoring offences.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4297", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb"} ], "uin" : "HL2345"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/755979", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/755979/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
