Appeals process for fines under covid-19 restrictions

Early day motion 894, tabled 25 January 2022 by Dawn Butler (Labour). Signed by 10 members.

That this House is concerned by increasing reports of alleged social gatherings and events in Downing Street during periods of covid-19 lockdown; is further concerned by the fact that the police have issued over 100,000 fixed penalty notice fines to members of the public for breaking covid-19 restrictions; believes that it is wrong that people had no formal right of appeal under those restrictions; and calls on the Government to immediately implement a retrospective appeals process for everyone who was issued a fine under those restrictions.

Signatures by party: Labour 9, Labour/Co-operative 1.
