To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of implementing payment plans for Penalty Charge Notices in the context of the cost of living crisis.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of implementing payment plans for Penalty Charge Notices in the context of the cost of living crisis.
Local authorities are responsible for the administration of Penalty Charge Notice payments. It is a matter for individual local authorities to decide how the penalty charges owed are paid, including a potential payment instalment plan.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has made a recent assessment of the adequacy of the support available to motorists to appeal against Penalty Charge Notices that they believe have been issued in error.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has made a recent assessment of the adequacy of the support available to motorists to appeal against Penalty Charge Notices that they believe have been issued in error.
Local authorities are responsible for issuing Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) and the administration process, including appeals. In the event of a PCN being issued, there is a clear appeals structure set out in legislation which allows a driver to challenge whether this was issued fairly or not. Motorist have a statutory right to appeal a PCN issued, if they believe there are mitigating circumstances or that the contravention did not occur. If a motorist is not content with the outcome of an appeal to the local authority, they may appeal to the independent tribunal.

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)

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many fixed penalty notices have been issued to people under the age of 18 for possessing a firework in a public place, in each year since 2017.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many fixed penalty notices have been issued to people under the age of 18 for possessing a firework in a public place, in each year since 2017.
The Ministry of Justice publishes information on the number of Penalty Notice for Disorders (PND), for various offences including the offence “DA15 Possession by a person under 18 of adult firework”, for the years 2011 to 2021 in the Out of Court Disposals data tool 2021.
Penalty notices for disorder should no longer be available for persons aged under 18 such from 8 April 2013. A pilot scheme was implemented from early November 2014 in Leicestershire and Staffordshire police forces and from late November in West Yorkshire to reduce the types of out of court disposals available for adult offenders. In the pilot areas, the only out of court disposals available are community resolutions and conditional cautions.
The people I serve will of course be commemorating Remembrance Day. Bermondsey was the original home of the poppy factory, providing work for injured veterans of the great war over 100 years ago.
Covid restrictions were a necessary but painful experience, and across the country most people made enormous sacrifices, including Charlotte, my constituent, and local councillor Lorraine, who were unable to see their mums in their final days. Those people were betrayed by the Conservatives, who partied their way through lockdown—[Interruption.] Members might not like it, but they can all go and eat kangaroo testicles, for all I care. Those Conservatives covered Downing Street in suitcases of wine, in vomit and in fixed penalty notices. Can this Prime Minister promise today that he will use his power of veto to ensure that no one who received a fixed penalty notice for breaking covid laws is rewarded with a seat in the House of Lords?

What I can say is that this Government, during covid, ensured that we protected people’s jobs, that we supported the NHS to get through the difficult times and that we rolled out that the fastest vaccine in Europe. That is what we did for this country.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if his Department has taken into account the rising cost of living as part of the decision-making process of increasing train penalty fares to £100 from January 2023.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if his Department has taken into account the rising cost of living as part of the decision-making process of increasing train penalty fares to £100 from January 2023.
The Penalty Fare increase will only impact passengers travelling without valid tickets and does not represent a cost of living increase for fare paying passengers.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of introducing penalty points for people who fail to wear a seatbelt.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of introducing penalty points for people who fail to wear a seatbelt.
The Department for Transport knows that in 2021, in 30% of all car occupant fatalities recorded, seat belts were not worn. This is unacceptably high, and we have been considering options to tackle this including the potential merits of introducing penalty points. This might form part of the Department for Transports planned call for evidence on motoring offences.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of moving from paper notices attached to the vehicle to sending Fixed Penalty Notices for parking offences directly to the registered keeper's address.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of moving from paper notices attached to the vehicle to sending Fixed Penalty Notices for parking offences directly to the registered keeper's address.
No assessment has been made of dispensing with paper notices. In 2015, Ministers limited the use of CCTV evidence to specific, more serious parking contraventions and, in those cases, penalties may be sent directly to the registered keeper’s address. For other parking contraventions, the penalty notice must be fixed to the vehicle. This has the advantage of allowing the driver to understand immediately when and how they have contravened and to record the exact circumstances should they wish to challenge the penalty.

My Lords, I agree with an amnesty, but we seem to have gone from one extreme to the other, with a TUC survey that now finds 9% of employees showing Covid symptoms being forced to go to work. Does the Minister agree that anyone who tests positive or displays Covid symptoms should not be forced to go into work, and that no one should have to work alongside colleagues who are
testing positive? Employees should, at the very least, be allowed that choice for the sake of their own health and the health of others.

My Lords, I am not sure how far it lies within the power of central government to make the orders for which the noble Earl calls. I will, if he wishes, correspond with him on just what the Government can do to prevent people being coerced into going into work against their will.

My Lords, the data in the National Police Chiefs’ Council report on fixed penalty notices issued in England and Wales shows the different approach to FPNs taken by forces. For example, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire issued less than half the number that Sussex and Norfolk issued. Will the reasons for those different rates be looked at, especially if persuasion was a more successful approach than penalties, so that lessons can be learned for the future?

My Lords, the circumstances on which the noble Baroness founds her question seem an inevitable consequence of the independence of police forces, to which I made reference earlier. The Home Office worked closely with the National Police Chiefs’ Council on the Government’s enforcement approach to the health crisis, with engagement at both ministerial and official level. Police forces were guided by instruction and advice from the College of Policing.

My Lords, I have so many questions. The Minister talked about appropriate penalties, but there were people who escaped appropriate penalties—for example, at No. 10. Is there going to be any retrospective view of this? The Government gave out some very confusing messages, which may partially explain the difference in police force enforcement.

My Lords, I repeat my previous answer: it is the foundation of policing in England and Wales that individual forces are independent of central government and not accountable to central government for decisions they take. On the specific matter to which the noble Baroness refers, in relation to events down the street in Whitehall, I think that that has been investigated thoroughly by the Metropolitan Police.
