The Chancellor of the Exchequer allocated an initial £35 million from fines levied on banks for attempting to manipulate the LIBOR interest rate to the Covenant Reference Group, to fund projects supporting the armed forces community. He recently announced

that additional LIBOR funding will be made available to the Covenant totalling £10 million per year in perpetuity from financial year 2015-16.

There have been three tranches of bids for funding from the £35 million LIBOR monies and some £34.8 million has been distributed. Of this some £26.8 million went to service charities, a further £5.1 million to bids from Service organisations and £2.9 million to other charities and benevolent organisations. This initial LIBOR fund is now closed with no further tranches for bids planned.

The power to issue Civil Monetary Penalties (fines) was made available to the Information Commissioner, as a result of changes to the Privacy and Electronic Communication Regulations (PECR) 2003, on 26 May 2011 and the subsequent laying of statutory guidance before both Houses in 2012. As a result, no penalties were issued before 2012 and since then, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has issued monetary penalties as follows:

The Office of Communications (Ofcom) has issued monetary penalties to four companies in the last five years (2009 to 2013) for breaching Ofcom's statement of policy on persistent misuse, in respect of abandoned and silent nuisance calls. In total, Ofcom has issued 12 monetary penalties for abandoned and silent calls since the start of 2007. Ofcom has also undertaken informal enforcement action, the result of which is that companies about whom Ofcom may have concerns, are brought into compliance more quickly without having to pursue formal action. In the first half of this year, Ofcom took such action against 11 companies, and as a result complaints linked to the telephone numbers used by seven of those organisations stopped and complaints in relation to the remainder fell significantly.

Section 444(1) of the Education Act 1996 provides that it is an offence for a parent of a registered pupil at school to fail to secure their regular attendance. Section 444(1A) provides that it is an offence for a parent to knowingly fail to secure the regular attendance of a school registered pupil at school. Section 444A of the Education Act 1996 (inserted by section 23 of the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003) provides local authorities and schools with the power to issue penalty notices where they have reason to believe an offence has been committed under section 444 of the Education Act 1996.

The Education (Penalty Notices) (England) Regulations 2007 (as amended), which apply to maintained schools, pupil referral units, academies and alternative provision academies (including free schools), set out the process for issuing penalty notices (fines). Each local authority must publish a code of conduct, which ensures that penalty notices are issued consistently in their area.

A penalty notice offers a person the opportunity to discharge themselves of any liability to a conviction of an offence under section 444(1) of the Education Act 1996, to which the notice relates, by paying the fine in full and within the specified period.

The penalty notice is £60 if it is paid within 21 days, otherwise the fine will rise to £120 and is to be paid within 28 days. There is no right of appeal by parents against a penalty notice. If the penalty is not paid in full by the end of the 28-day period, the local authority must decide either to prosecute for the original offence to which the notice applies, or withdraw the notice.

A person guilty of an offence under section 444(1) is liable on summary conviction to a fine of up to £1,000. A person guilty of an offence under section 444(1A) is liable on summary conviction to a fine of up to £2,500 or to imprisonment of up to three months.

Local authorities, head teachers and officers authorised to give penalty notices must have regard to the Department for Education's statutory guidance on “Parental responsibility measures for school attendance and behaviour” which can be found on the Department's website.¹¹ http://tinyurl.com/p8aby9k

Performance points accrued, reasons for performance points accrual and financial remedies applied for quarterly measured and annually measured performance points at private prisons for contract periods 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13 are detailed in tables 1 to 3. Please note that quarterly and annual performance measures are calculated on differing criteria and are not comparable.

It is not possible to specify data from May 2010 as performance reporting is based on quarterly and annual submissions in line with contract-specific timelines.

Note: performance points and financial remedies criteria will vary from contract to contract, particularly between PFI and Manage and Maintain Contracts, as well as newer, amended and older PFT contracts. For example, actual performance measures, method of calculation, performance point weightings, credit point weightings, performance point targets etc. may vary from contract to contract.

The data presented in tables 1 to 3 is based on total number of performance points accrued for the relevant periods. This does not take into account credit points awarded to contractors and offset against total performance points for the period. Financial remedies are only applicable when performance point baseline targets are exceeded for the period.

Due to a changeover in systems in 2012-13, some financial data reported for previous periods are incomplete.

It is important to note that performance points are essentially about operational efficiency, and do not represent a risk to public safety. At no point has public safety been at risk. There are no significant historical trends in the attached figures. Privately managed prisons achieve the majority of their contractual targets with proportionately low levels of performance points and financial remedies applied as a result. The data for each contract is closely monitored by MOJ staff and any emerging or sustained performance failures are discussed in detail with the relevant provider in order to rectify performance shortfalls as quickly as possible.

The Government has no plans to introduce on-the-spot fines for those who do not comply with the Equality Act 2010. Parliament's view in enacting this legislation was that the Courts are best placed to consider cases of alleged disability discrimination.

The Government do not collect or hold these data.

We are not aware of any such penalties in the last 10 years. However, the energy regulator, Ofgem has issued a statutory consultation on new licence conditions to improve access to the wholesale electricity market, including by requiring the eight largest electricity generating companies to follow a set of 'Supplier Market Access' rules when trading with small independent suppliers.
