In 2014, 5,307 parking fines incurred by diplomatic missions and international organisations in the
United Kingdom were brought to our attention by councils. These totalled £536,289.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has held meetings with a number of missions about
outstanding parking fine debt. In addition, in April this year we wrote to diplomatic missions and
international organisations concerned giving them the opportunity to either pay their outstanding
fines or appeal against them if they considered that the fines had been issued incorrectly.
Subsequent payments (including amounts waived by councils) totalled £214,154. There remains
a total of £322,135 in unpaid fines for 2014.

The table below details those Diplomatic Missions and International Organisations that have
outstanding fines totalling £1,000 or more, as of 22 June 2015.
