HL Deb 14 January 1986 vol 469 c1063WA
Lord Jenkins of Putney

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will ask Chief Officers of Police to report to the Home Office on what efforts they are making to enforce the law on road speed limits.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Home Office (Lord Glenarthur)

Chief officers of police publish annual reports covering their responsibilities for law enforcement. These reports deal with enforcement or road traffic law in the context of the other responsibilities of the police. We do not make a practice of calling for special reports on enforcement of particular laws unless there are special reasons.
