All fines by these regulatory bodies go to HM Paymaster General, just as when Postcomm fined Royal Mail �11.7m in 2006 and the OFT fined supermarkets and milk processors �116m for price fixing last December.

My favourite was the FSA handing out a �980,000 fine to Nationwide BS for security lapses after mislaying a laptop containing customer information. The Nationwide is a mutual society (i.e. the members are effectively the shareholders) therefore any fine imposed on the institution is a fine on the customers - net effect: customers pay the Treasury for the privilege of having their details compromised.
