The number of defendants proceeded against at magistrates’ courts for offences related to the sale of alcohol to an intoxicated person in England and Wales, from 2009 to 2013 (the latest available), can be viewed in the table below.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 14 October 2014 to Question 209021, what the total amount was raised from fines levied following convictions under the Licensing Act 2003 in each of the last four years.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 14 October 2014 to Question 209021, what the total amount was raised from fines levied following convictions under the Licensing Act 2003 in each of the last four years.
It is not possible to identify how much has been raised from fines imposed for convictions under the Licensing Act 2003, as the Ministry of Justice does not hold this information. This is because fine enforcement and collection occurs at individual local centres, with separate accounts set-up for each offender into which are paid consolidated penalty requirements (for example, compensation, victim surcharges and fines). It is therefore not possible to disaggregate these amounts by offence and payment type.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people were convicted of an offence under sections 136, 137, 156 and 157 of the Licensing Act 2003 in each of the last four years; how many of those people fined, were fined the maximum amount stipulated in that Act...

Fines imposed in individual cases are entirely a matter for the independent courts within the limits set by Parliament and following any relevant sentencing guidelines. The law requires that the amount of any fine must reflect both the seriousness of the offence and the known financial circumstances of the offender.
HM Courts and Tribunals Service takes the issue of fine enforcement very seriously and is working to ensure that clamping down on fine defaulters is a continued priority nationwide. The courts have a range of powers to enforce payment of fines, including the use of bailiffs to seize goods, and deductions from earnings or benefits. Over recent years we have overseen improvements to the collection of financial penalties. There was a total of £290m collected against fines and related impositions in 2013/14 which was a record high and 2% more than the previous year.
The Government takes the offence of sale of alcohol to minors (s 146 and s 147A of the Licensing Act 2003) very seriously and for this reason in April 2012 raised the maximum fine for the offence of persistently selling alcohol to a person under the age of 18 to £20,000 (under s 147A) in cases where alcohol has been sold twice within a period of three months from the same premises.
The number of offenders convicted and sentenced to the maximum custody or fine, by selected offences under the Licensing Act 2003, in England and Wales from 2009 to 2013 can be viewed in the table below.
It is not possible to identify how much has been collected against fines imposed for specific offences without carrying out a manual search of all fine account records held by Her Majesty's Courts & Tribunals Service. This information could therefore only be provided at disproportionate cost.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people were convicted of an offence under sections 138, 140, 143, 144, 145, 148, 150(1&2) and 158 of the Licensing Act 2003 in each of the last four years; how many people who were fined were fined the maximum amount...

The figures given in the table relate to persons for whom these
offences were the principal offences for which they were dealt with.
When a defendant has been found guilty of two or more offences it is
the offence for which the heaviest penalty is imposed. Where the same
disposal is imposed for two or more offences, the offence selected is
the offence for which the statutory maximum penalty is the most
severe. 2 Every effort is made to ensure that the figures presented are accurate and complete. However, it is important to note that these data have been extracted from large administrative data systems generated by the courts and police be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when those data are used. 3 The maximum allowable sentence for this offence is a £1,000 fine. 4 The maximum allowable sentence for this offence is a £5,000 fine. 5 The maximum allowable sentence for this offence is a £10,000 fine. 6 The maximum allowable sentence for this offence is a £200 fine. 7 Data for offences under section 149 of the act are split into two groups within the court proceedings database and are therefore presented separately in the table: parts 1 and 7a—persistently selling alcohol to children, parts 3, 4 and 7—buying or attempting to buy alcohol on behalf of an individual under-18.
