HL Deb 29 April 1991 vol 528 cc15-6WA
Lord Dormand of Easington

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What action is being taken to enforce speed limits on the roads.

The Minister of State, Home Office (Earl Ferrers)

The enforcement of road traffic law, including speed limits, is an operational matter for individual chief officers of police. The Road Traffic Bill at present before this House introduces a new system for the enforcement of certain road traffic offences, including breaches of speed limits, using unmanned detection devices.
