asked Her Majesty's Government:

When HM Inspectorate of Constabulary will follow up its Road Policing and Traffic Inspection Report 1998. [HL891]

The Minister of State, Home Office (Lord Rooker)

Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) has not identified road policing and traffic as an area which needs to be immediately revisited as a thematic inspection.

However, individual forces undertake best value reviews examining the way they operate and identifying improvements. Such reviews have to cover road policing issues. In addition, every force's performance is risk assessed during formal inspections, including the road policing aspects.
