To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what estimate he has made of the proportion of offences where the victim surcharge is ordered and there is no victim.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what estimate he has made of the proportion of offences where the victim surcharge is ordered and there is no victim.
The Ministry of Justice does not collate the information in the manner requested, and it is not possible to identify the amount of victim surcharge collected in relation to offences where there was no victim.
The Ministry of Justice Court Proceedings Database holds information on defendants proceeded against, found guilty and sentenced for criminal offences in England and Wales. This database holds information on offences provided by the statutes under which proceedings are brought but not the specific circumstances of each case. This centrally held information does not include details of the amount of victim surcharge imposed for the majority of cases. Below is a link to our most recent quarterly bulletin.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how much in victim surcharge has been imposed by adult courts since October 2012; and how much of that figure has been collected to date.

The balance of the amount imposed that is remaining at the end of the period will include amounts that are being paid by instalments or were not due for payment by that time. The closer to the point of imposition the greater the proportion will be that remains outstanding as many offenders will be paying by instalments.
HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) takes the issue of financial penalty enforcement very seriously and is working to ensure that clamping down on defaulters is a continued priority nationwide. HMCTS actively pursues all outstanding impositions until certain they cannot be collected. Total collection reached an all time high at the end of 2012-13 and collection has continued to rise in this financial year.
HMCTS are actively seeking an external provider for the future delivery of compliance and enforcement services. This will bring the necessary investment and innovation to significantly improve the collection of criminal financial penalties and reduce the cost of the service to the taxpayer.

The Ministry of Justice does not centrally collate the information in the manner requested, and it is not possible to attribute the amount of victim surcharge collected by type of sentence imposed by the courts.
My Lords, after Monday’s debate, I do not think this should take very long. Amendment 58 relates to Clause 33, on immigration health charges, and specifically to subsection (3)(b), which says:

This amendment also relates to Clause 33. The only comment I make to start with is that if all the verbiage in Clause 33 does is give the power to charge one rate to students and another to everybody else, it seems unbelievable that it cannot be made simpler and...

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how much he received from victim surcharges on motoring offences and motoring fixed penalty notices in each year between 2010 and 2013; and what estimate he has made of such receipts in 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how much he received from victim surcharges on motoring offences and motoring fixed penalty notices in each year between 2010 and 2013; and what estimate he has made of such receipts in 2014.
As set out in the Government's response to the consultation 'Getting it Right for Victims and Witnesses', we intend to raise an additional £30 million for victims services through increased motoring fixed penalty notices in 2014. The increases were implemented in August 2013 and there is no data yet available on how much has been raised in the financial year 2013-14. It is not possible to determine Victim Surcharge receipts attributable to motoring offences, as such data is not differentiated by offence type.
It is right that offenders, not taxpayers, foot the bill for the damage offenders cause so in October 2012 the Government increased and extended the Victim Surcharge to ensure criminals pay for victims' services, and that they pay more than they used to. These changes, along with increases to financial penalties including motoring fixed penalty notices, will help generate up to £50 million extra a year from offenders for victims’ services. This is in addition of the £66 million already spent by Government.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how much of the victim surcharge has gone uncollected since the surcharge was introduced.

The value of uncollected victim surcharge as at 31 March 2013 is £12.1 million. This amount is net of administrative cancellations.
HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) takes the issue of financial penalty enforcement very seriously and is working to ensure that clamping down on defaulters is a continued priority nationwide. HMCTS actively pursues all outstanding impositions until certain they cannot be collected. Collection reached an all time high at the end of 2012-13 and has continued to rise in this financial year. At the end of September 2013 total collection (all imposition types excluding confiscation orders) was higher than the same point in the previous year and the outstanding balance had reduced since the start of the financial year. On average over the last 12 month 69% of accounts have been either closed or are compliant with payment terms by 12 months after imposition.
HMCTS are actively seeking an external provider for the future delivery of compliance and enforcement services. This will bring the necessary investment and innovation to significantly improve the collection of criminal financial penalties and reduce the cost of the service to the taxpayer.
Under this Government, more money is being used to fund victims’ services than ever before. Despite a law being introduced in 1996, which allowed money to be
deducted from prisoner’s earnings to help fund support for victims, the previous Government failed to act on this, depriving victims of potentially millions of pounds of support.

The Immigration Bill includes the introduction of a Health Surcharge, which would be applicable to non-EEA temporary migrants in non-visitor immigration categories who come to the UK for more than six months. The Impact Assessment (IA) for this policy estimates the net exchequer cost which arises from the change in migrants as a result of the surcharge. Tables 8 and 9 show the annual average tax contributions and public service consumption (which includes health, education and welfare) per migrant affected by this policy.

No estimates have been made on the extent to which general tax contributions from visitors, EEA nationals and migrants not affected by the surcharge cover the costs of health and social care.
