The information requested falls within the responsibility of the Charity Commission. I have asked the Commission to reply.Letter from Nick Allaway, dated 11 November 2009:"As the Chief Executive of the Charity Commission, Andrew Hind has been asked to respond to your written Parliamentary Question on the Commission's use of its powers in connection with Surveillance using of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA). Andrew is currently away so I am responding in his absence.""It may assist if I provide some background information on the Commission's use of RIPA to date: The Commission has not made use of RIPA in connection with Directed Surveillance (DS), nor have we used Covert Human Intelligence Sources (CHIS), but have used our powers in connection with obtaining Communications Data under section 21 (4) (c) of RIPA eight times since 2004. The Commission only seeks RIPA authorisations when necessary to assist with our investigations, where it is proportionate to do so, and in cases of the most serious concern.""The Charity Commission has not authorised the use of RIPA for any surveillance, of schools with charitable status or otherwise. In none of the eight occasions where RIPA authority was sought for obtaining communications data by the Commission were the requests rejected.""Since 2004 the Commission has been inspected three times by the Office of the Surveillance Commissioners (OSC) and after each inspection, received a report as RESTRICTED under government protective marking. Unfortunately, therefore, it would not be appropriate to make copies generally available.""As mentioned previously the use of RIPA was to obtain Communications Data. As you may be aware, the Charity Commission is a civil regulator and not a prosecuting authority, but has a clear ""regulatory function to identify and investigate abuse in charities. Where we identify or are alerted to criminal activity within a charity, we will inform the police or other relevant agencies where this has not already happened, for them to consider further action and prosecute where appropriate. To our knowledge, to date, no prosecutions have been brought directly in relation to the eight RIPA authorisations. We can confirm that some of the charities, subject to use of communications data, are or have been directly or indirectly connected to criminal prosecutions.""I hope this is helpful."

Units to wheel-clamp unlicensed vehicles were introduced in Northern Ireland in 1998 and camera detection units in 2001. Output from the wheel-clamping units is measured in the number of vehicles clamped not prosecutions. Separate recording of prosecutions arising from enforcement action by camera units did not begin until 2003–04. For vehicle excise duty offences it is the normal policy to offer out of court settlements rather than proceed direct to court. Resulting from camera detections, in 2003–04 1,695 people paid out of court (OCS) settlements and 217 were prosecuted in court. In 2004–05, 1,830 paid OCSs and 306 were prosecuted in court.

Mobile vehicle detection is undertaken by automatic number plate reader (ANPRs) units. ANPRs are deployed on a rolling programme across Northern Ireland. The main criterion is to maximise the potential to detect unlicensed vehicles but recognising the need to ensure that the siting does not cause a traffic hazard.ANPRs are also deployed as requested by PSNI to assist in joint exercises with other enforcement authorities.
