The Home Office collects and publishes data on the number of recorded Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) issued for vehicular noise offences, including a breakdown by Police Force Area. The latest available data are here:

The data that the Home Office holds will not cover all offences under Section 42 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 for non-compliance with Regulation 97 of the Road Vehicles Regulations 1986. Offences may be dealt with in ways other than FPNs, such as by issuing a vehicle rectification notice or through seizure of the vehicle if it has other serious defects.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
