As the Deputy is aware, the Programme for Government includes a commitment to allow for the recovery of unpaid fines by the attachment of earnings. Last October, the Government approved the Scheme of a Fines (Amendment) Bill to give effect to this commitment and to make a number of other changes to the Fines Act 2010. I hope that it will be possible to publish the Fines (Amendment) Bill later this year, with a view to its enactment at an early date.
