§ Viscount Astorasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will provide information on locations of present and proposed SPECS speed cameras; and whether they will keep that list up-to-date on the Department for Transport's website. [HL1514]
§ Lord Davies of OldhamWithin the cost recovery scheme two SPECS safety camera systems are in place in Northamptonshire, 13 in Nottinghamshire and one in South Yorkshire. SPECS cameras are suited to stretches of road that are relatively uninterrupted by junctions, but where speed is a problem and there have been at least five people killed or seriously injured per kilometre. Details on specific sites are available on individual partnership web-sites linked by the National Safety Camera Liaison sitewww.nationalsafetycameras.co.uk.
