Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hanham (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 26 October 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Road Safety Bill [HL].


Road Safety Bill [HL]

The Minister must be the only person in the country who thinks that not everybody who is fined after being detected by a speed camera believes that they are for raising revenue. I have never heard anybody say anything different. I do not think that we will do much to dent that view, which is held very firmly by everybody. In fact, we might, to some extent, make a virtue out of it if people recognised something with a road safety application that had been provided in the local authority area by such money. I sense a fair amount of support in the Committee for our proposal. I can see that the Minister will not be persuaded tonight, but it is very possible that we may try again to persuade him. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 135 not moved.]
