§ Mr. Foulkesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will advise police forces in Scotland not to use the Muni Quip radar device to provide information about vehicle speeds for the purpose of prosecutions, in view of the judgment in South Wales where evidence obtained from these machines was not accepted.
§ The Solicitor-General for ScotlandI have been asked to reply.
120WI do not intend to arrange for a review of the prosecution for speeding in Scotland where the evidence is obtained by means of the Muni Quip digital radar gun. In Scotland, strict instructions have been issued to police officers to test the gun for accuracy in situ immediately prior to and immediately after the period during which the gun is used to detect speeding offences.
