Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it is the policy of her Department that fixed penalty notices should continue to be issued under coronavirus regulations in relation to incidents that occurred in the period when those regulations were in force.

The issuing of FPNs, during the pandemic and now, is a matter for police forces who are operationally independent. Data on FPNs issued is not collected by the Home Office, but rather the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC).

The most recent tranche of figures relating to coronavirus breaches were published on 16 March 2022 and can be found on the NPCC website at Update on Coronavirus FPNs issued by forces in England and Wales, and the payment of FPNs (npcc.police.uk)
