Vol. 451 No. 8
144 Miss Quill asked the Minister for the Environment the number of litter wardens currently employed by local authorities; and the amount and number of fines imposed for each local authority area in each of the years 1992 to 1994. [7657/95]
In 1993, the latest year for which information is available, a total of 89 litter wardens were employed by local authorities on a full-time or part-time basis.
The following table gives details of the number of "on-the-spot" fines imposed and the number of summary convictions secured in each local authority area in the years 1992 and 1993. Similar information is not yet available in respect of 1994. Information on the amount of fines imposed is not available in my Department.
