§ Mr. Parrisasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will give details for the last three years of the number 385W of convictions for exceeding the 50 mph and 70 mph speed limits of persons driving public service vehicles; and how many such convictions resulted from information obtained by inspecting the tachograph of the public service vehicles concerned.
§ Mr. Mayhew:I have been asked to reply.
The only information available relates to the total number of findings of guilt for exceeding the 50 mph speed limit applied to a passenger carrying vehicle and is published annually in "Offences relating to motor vehicles, England and Wales"—table 4, page 14 of the supplementary tables for 1980—a copy of which is placed in the Library. The figures for 1981 are expected to be published in November.
