§ Sir Philip GoodhartTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to bring forward regulations for type approved camera equipment to help with deterring and detecting speeding and traffic light offenders.
§ Mr. Peter LloydNo camera equipment has yet completed the necessary laboratory tests. I cannot anticipate the outcome of these tests.
§ Sir Philip GoodhartTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much money he is making available to the police in the coming financial year for(a) 513W the purchase of red light and speed camera equipment and (b) the purchase of computer equipment and software to make use of such camera equipment.
§ Mr. Peter LloydWe do not make allocations of grant for specific items of equipment. In 1992–93 the available provision of capital grant and credit approvals will support expenditure by provincial forces of £111.3 million on vehicles, equipment and minor building works. It is for police authorities to determine how this money should be used.
