MPs and peers called for a review today into the “muddled, discriminatory and unfair” coronavirus fines issued under lockdown laws.
The joint committee on human rights said the system “criminalises the poor over the better-off” and that no Covid-19 fine should result in a criminal record.
“Significant concerns” about the validity of the fines, the inadequacy of the review and appeal process, the size of the penalties and the criminalisation of those who cannot afford to pay were set out in its report.
Committee chairwoman Harriet Harman acknowledged the “difficult job” that police had in enforcing the rules during the pandemic, but warned there could be a larger number of wrongly issued fines because of a lack of legal clarity.

New Delhi: For the ordinary middle class, savings and correct investment are the tools for a secured retired life. Among several options for retirement, the National Pension Scheme started by the government is a great option for those people who want to go for traditional method of investment.
You can start saving a very little amount in National Pension System (NPS) and over a period of time, earn good benefits too.
Assuming, a person starts at a very early age (say a person who is 20 years old) and sets aside just Rs 74 per day and put it in the National Pension System , then the person can easily build a corpus of Rs 1 crore. Here is an assumptive plan for building the retirement corpus of Rs 1 crore. If a person starts at the age of 20 and invests Rs 74 per day (Rs 2230 per month), upon retirement (after 40 years) the person can build a total corpus of Rs 1.03 crore, at 9 percent rate of interest.
