if you are stopped sudenly by lets say another car , tree , or a wall ie crash. the penalty is probably the death of your child

On a serious note though...
http://www.childcarseats.org.uk/law/index.htm
Probably the same as this...

As a driver, if you are convicted of failing to ensure that a child passenger is using an appropriate child restraint or wearing a seat belt according to the legal requirements described above, you could face a fine of up to £500.

think i need to get another 2 seats tbh, the law is stupid though, they go on about how kids need to be in child seats but if you have 3 kids then only 2 have to be in seats and if there isnt a seat belt avalible then any child over 3yrs old can still travel without a child seat or a seat belt

You have answered your own question there. Get more seats rather than fucking around.
As for the third seatbelt in the back. My 307 does not have a lap belt, has one that goes over your shoulder. If you need to carry 3 kids regularly then maybe look at changing your car.
