Dear Mr Clarke

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000

I refer to your e-mail of 9^th June 2009, and in particular your request for information concerning graduated fixed penalties.

In response, I can confirm that from their introduction on 28^th May 2009 up to and including the 8^th June 2009, 513 fixed penalty notices, 714 fixed penalty deposit notices and 8 court deposit notices have been issued by VOSA.

If you have any queries about this letter, please contact us, quoting reference F0001939.

If you are unhappy with the response provided, you may ask for an internal review. To request an internal review, please write to:

VOSA Corporate Office,

Berkeley House,

Croydon Street,

Bristol,

BS5 0DA

or email [email address]

giving the reasons for your dissatisfaction. It will help us if you quote the reference number for your case.

If you do not agree with the outcome of the internal review, you may lodge an appeal with the Information Commissioner (www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk). The Information Commissioner is an independent official appointed by the Crown to oversee the Data Protection Act 1998, the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the Environmental Information Regulations 2004.

The Information Commissioner can consider complaints about any aspect of the way in which requests for information have been handled. Please note: the Information Commissioner would be unlikely to consider your complaint if you have not first requested an internal review.

You can write to the Information Commissioner at:

The Information Commissioner's Office
