Alton Towers looks like it's about to get a huge fine, I'm assuming this is HSE prosecuting them. What happens to the fine, does it go into the government coffers?
A thousand thanks!

You'll see that fines (approx £264m) only made up just over a quarter of the total income of around a billion pounds.
The 'disbursements' statement shows that quite a lot of the total revenue found its way to the Ministry of Justice and the Home Office (with an alarming £285m, which is more than the total income from fines, simply being written off as 'credit losses').
Once all of the expenditure and disbursements had been met, there was about £58m left over, which was paid to the 'Consolidated Fund':
