Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much was raised from the victim surcharge in each year since 2010.
We want criminals to properly pay for their crimes. For this reason, in October 2012 the victim surcharge was increased on fines and extended to ensure offenders contribute towards victims’ services.
The following table sets out the amount raised from the Victim Surcharge annually since 2010.
Financial year | Victim Surcharge raised |
2010-11 | £10.5m |
2011-12 | £10.3m |
2012-13 | £10.5m |
2013-14 | £19.5m |
2014-15 | £24.6m |
