Will the Minister agree that in the case of non-payment of fines every alternative to imprisonment should be investigated, including the confiscation of assets, deduction of the amount of the fine at source, community work orders, etc.? According to the Whitaker report the State saves £12.7 million in capital costs and £3.8 million in current costs at 1985 prices, for every hundred persons not in prison. Will the Minister therefore agree that sending people to prison for non-payment of fines is a very expensive remedy and that other remedies should be found?
