To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport how much has been raised by each category of fixed penalty notice issued by the British Transport Police in (a) England and (b) Wales since 2006. (314346)

[holding answer 29 January 2010]: The British Transport Police (BTP) have powers to issue two types of fixed penalty, fixed penalty notices (FPNs) and penalty notices for disorder (PNDs). FPNs are primarily for road traffic offences; the BTP rarely prosecute for these offences and, where they do, they do so by summons rather than fixed penalty.

The amounts received by the BTP in respect of PNDs issued in England and Wales are as follows.

Information on the split between penalty notices issued in England and those issued in Wales is not held centrally.
