Written question asked by David Drew (Labour) on Wednesday, 3 December 2003, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 17 December 2003. It was answered by David Jamieson (Labour) on Wednesday, 17 December 2003 on behalf of the Department for Transport.

Dept for Transport

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many fixed speed cameras are operating outside Safety Camera Partnerships; and where they are located. - Includes no figures.

Answer: Mr. Drew: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many fixed speed cameras are operating outside Safety Camera Partnerships; and where they are located. [142237] Mr. Jamieson: There are currently five police force areas out of a maximum 51 in Great Britain who are not yet participating in the safety camera netting off scheme. These areas do not recover their camera-related costs from fine income and therefore there is no obligation on them to inform central Government about camera activity or number of cameras in operation in their areas. We expect all but Durham to be part of the netting off programme by July 2004.
