Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Trimble (Conservative). It was answered by Lord Faulkner of Worcester (Labour) on Thursday, 28 January 2010.


Roads: Speed Cameras

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to reduce the number of speed cameras in the United Kingdom.
Answer

My Lords, any decision to remove a camera is for local road safety partnerships, not the Government. The Department for Transport’s guidance on the deployment of cameras encourages road safety partnerships regularly to review their camera sites. Cameras in Scotland and Northern Ireland are a matter for the Scottish Parliament and the Northern Ireland Assembly.
