Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 5 October 2010.
Roads: Speed Cameras
- Question
- My Lords, is it not the case that the local authorities are anticipating cutbacks in resources as well? Will the Minister take responsibility for the statement on his department’s website that, "““Without safety cameras to reduce speeding and make … roads safer, around 100 more people would be killed each year””?" Is the Minister going to deny that?
- Answer
-
My Lords, we are discontinuing funding for new cameras, but local authorities may install new cameras if they wish. It is up to local authorities to make decisions to suit local conditions.
