Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 10 July 2026 to Question 15270, on Speed Limits: Cameras, which body holds information on the revenue directed from motoring fines into the Consolidated Fund.

Receipts from fixed penalty notices (FPNs) including those issued for speeding offences and penalty notices for disorder (PNDs) are issued by the Police and collected by His Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) and accounted for in the annual HMCTS Trust Statement. By statute, these receipts are due to the Consolidated Fund; however, HM Treasury has agreed that annually £30 million of the receipts from paid FPNs plus an additional £10 per paid PND should be ring fenced for use by victim services. The remaining receipts, under the latest HM Treasury spending review, are to be retained by the Ministry of Justice and form part of their overall funding settlement.

In 2025-26, HMCTS collected £144.4 million from paid FPNs and PNDs of which £30.017 million was ring fenced to victim services and the remaining £114 million was retained by the Ministry of Justice.
