HC Deb 21 June 2000 vol 352 c198W
Ms Drown

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what assessment he has made of the results of the schemes that are exploring alternative mechanisms of funding speed cameras. [126966]

Mr. Hill

The camera funding pilots that started in April this year in eight police force areas in England, Wales and Scotland will run for two years to assess the effectiveness of new funding arrangements. It is too soon after the start for any results to be available yet, and we expect some preliminary results after the first year.
