This is a consultation on the proposal to allow police forces to design the format of their fixed penalty notices and remove obstacles presented by the issue of electronic tickets.
Police forces would still be required to include certain information on the ticket, for example, details of the offence and reasonable information about it, the amount of the penalty and how to pay it, and their right to be tried for the offence. A specimen ticket will also continue to be included in operational guidance to forces.
The Government would like your views on the proposal in paragraphs 31 to 35 of the consultation paper, which is available on the Cabinet Office website.
The consultation ends on 3 October 2007.
