In answer to question 2: 
In accordance with section 1(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I can confirm that we do 
not hold the information you have requested.  Any fine issued by a court is payable to, and collected 
by, said court: the money does not go to either the BBC or TV Licensing.  Her Majesty’s Court 
Service is the body with official responsibility for collecting information on such fines.  Official figures 
are thus published by the Home Office.
