Proceeding contribution from Mike Penning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 30 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Motorways and Trunk Roads (Litter).


Motorways and Trunk Roads (Litter)

I am not sure that is correct. I thank the Minister for giving way. He is being very generous and I promise not to intervene again in the next two minutes. Traffic officers do have powers. If one overtakes a Highways Agency vehicle while it is performing a moving roadblock, it is an offence under the relevant legislation. I understand that traffic officers are the prosecuting authority for such offences.
