HC Deb 22 October 2001 vol 373 c69W
31. Mr. Brady

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the guidance issued on the siting of speed control cameras. [5172]

Mr. Denham

Since speed cameras were introduced in 1992, they have been sited in accordance with guidance set out in Home Office Circular 38/92. This specifies that they should be located where there is a known history of accidents and the major contributory factor is excessive speed. The Home Office is currently working with the Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions (DTLR), the police and local authorities to produce firmer guidance on siting, visibility and signing.
