The information requested is not available ,centrally.

Mrs. Helen Jackson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what guidelines he has issued regarding prosecution for speeding in a built-up area where the motorist is driving between 30 mph and 40 mph.

None. The way in which speed limits are enforced is an operational matter for chief officers of police.
