HL Deb 06 July 2000 vol 614 cc153-4WA
Lord Berkeley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many drivers of motor vehicles have been prosecuted for speeding in the London Royal Parks in the last five years. [HL2957]

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

Responsibility for the subject of this Question has been delegated to the Royal Parks Agency. As its Chief Executive, William Weston, has not yet taken up his appointment, I have asked the Agency's Head of Policy, Viviane Robertson, to reply on his behalf.

Letter to Lord Berkeley from the Head of Policy of the Royal Parks Agency, Viviane Robertson, dated 5 July 2000.

As the new Chief Executive does not take up his post until 10 July, I have been asked by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport to reply to your parliamentary Question about the number of motor vehicles prosecuted for speeding in the Royal Parks, because this is an operational matter for which the agency is responsible.

Neither the Royal Parks Agency nor the Royal Parks Constabularly can supply figures for the number of prosecutions. I have asked for the figures from the Office of the Attorney General and will write to you with them as soon as I have them.
