§ Mr. Harry BarnesTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many automatic cameras have been installed at traffic-light-controlled junctions; and how many more are planned this year.
§ Lord James Douglas-Hamilton[holding answer 14 February 1992]: One automatic camera has been introduced in Strathclyde region, where it will be used at six traffic-light-controlled junctions. A further six sites have been identified in the region at which an unmanned camera could usefully be installed. It is expected that these sites will come into operation this year.
It is a matter for each chief constable, in consultation with his roads authority, to decide where and to what extent cameras might with advantage be installed in his area.
