(2) how many fines from speed cameras were (a) unpaid and (b) overdue in Lancashire county council area at the most recent date for which figures were available.
Available information from 2001 to 2005 (latest available) is provided in the following table. 2006 data will be available later this year.
Information on revenue from speed camera convictions is not collected centrally.
The information collected by my department identifies the number of fixed penalties ordered to be paid and the number and amounts of court fines issued for each offences within each police force area. Fixed penalties that remain unpaid after the statutory period (28 days in the case of a fixed penalty resulting from unattended camera operation) are registered as fines at one and half times the original fixed penalty amount.
The overall payment rate for fines in general for the period April to December 2007 is 92 per cent. Court systems measure whether all fines are paid. They do not break this down to those that originate from speeding Fixed Penalty Notices, so this information is not available.

Fines given at the Crown court total nationally (England and Wales) less than 20 each year. 4 Offences under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and the Motor Vehicles (Speed Limits on Motorways) Regulations 1973. 5 Data are for all camera types. 6 £60 for a fixed penalty charge if paid. Notes: 1. It is known that for some police force areas, the reporting of court proceedings in particular those relating to summary motoring offences are less than complete. 2. Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative systems generated by the courts and police forces. As a consequence, care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their limitations are taken into account when those data are used.
The following tables show the number of juveniles and young adults detained in (a) each prison establishment in England and Wales as at 30 June of each year since 1997 and (b) each Secure Children’s Home and Secure Training Centre in England and Wales as at 30 June of each year since 2000.
These figures have been drawn from administrative IT systems, which, as with any large scale recording system, are subject to possible errors with data entry and processing.
