Written question asked by Dan Aldridge (Labour) on Friday, 20 February 2026, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 24 February 2026. It was answered by Lilian Greenwood (Labour) on Friday, 27 February 2026 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Speed Limits: Cameras

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department plans to review the requirement of local authorities to provide capital funding for fixed speed cameras and that revenue generated from fixed speed camera enforcement is received by HM Treasury.

Answer

The Department has no plans to review the current arrangements under which local authorities are responsible for meeting the capital costs of installing fixed speed cameras, as part of their wider capital expenditure responsibilities. Revenue raised through fixed‑penalty notices issued by speed‑camera enforcement is paid into the Consolidated Fund and therefore received by HM Treasury.
