Chapter 1: Fixed penalty notices Section 5: Use of proceeds
Section 5 states where the proceeds from fixed penalty notices must be paid. Section 5 recognises that as a matter of House of Commons procedure, a financial resolution needed to be agreed for the Bill from which the Act resulted.
	Subsection (1) states that funds received by enforcement authorities or chief officers of police from the receipt of paid fixed penalty notices issued under section 1 or 2 must be paid into the Consolidated Fund.
	Subsection (2) defines the costs that may be deducted by enforcement authorities or chief officers of police before paying the remaining funds received into the Consolidated Fund. These are the costs of investigating the offence relevant to the fixed penalty notice issued and the cost incurred by the enforcement authority or constable to issue the fixed penalty notice.
