To ask Her Majesty's Government how many (a) speeding fines, (b) London congestion charge fines, and (c) parking fines were incurred by the Government Car and Despatch Agency in each year since 1997; and what the value was of fines incurred in each category. [HL150]
The Government Car and Despatch Agency (GCDA) have paid the following fines:
Year Total Parking Fines Congestion Charge Fines 2003-04 £7,570 £160 2004-05 £5,610 £160 2005-06 £7,470 Nil 2006-07 £5,900 £50 2007-08 £15,930 Nil 2008-09 £16,830 Nil
The agency has paid no speeding fines.
Parking restrictions within central London may make it impossible sometimes to deliver secure or sensitive documents to buildings or allow people with a high public profile to attend or leave buildings without putting themselves or secure documents at risk. In these cases GCDA will pay the fine and recharge these costs to the customer as appropriate.
