PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
A20: Road Traffic Offences (20 February 2024)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he will have discussions with the Metropolitan Police on publishing data on the number of (a) speeding fines and (b) notices of intended prosecution for speeding since 1 December 2023 in the section of the A20 eastbound near Sidcup with a temporary speed limit.

Asked by:
Mr Louie French (Conservative)

No discussions are currently planned between the Home Secretary and the Metropolitan Police on this matter.

Enforcement of speed limits is an operational matter for local Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners, taking into account the specific local problems and demands with which they are faced.

If there are problems with the issue of speeding tickets then the matter can initially be raised with the Metropolitan Police, MOPAC and TfL as the authority responsible for the road in question.
