(A) It is the responsibility of individual agencies participating in the Asset Recovery Incentivisation Scheme to send any unspent funds back to HMT directly, who hold this information.

(B) Table 1 provides the amount of receipts above the ARIS cap for each financial year from 2017/18 to 2022/23. Receipts that surpass the cap are sent from the Home Office to HM Treasury and go into the Consolidated Fund.
