HC Deb 25 March 2004 vol 419 cc986-7W
Norman Baker

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the secondees from outside organisations working in his Department, stating in each case(a) the name of the person, (b) the name of the organisation,(c) the post held and (d) the start and finish dates of the secondment; and which are involved in drafting Parliamentary Answers. [158048]

Mr. McNulty

There are four secondees from external organisations currently working in DfT, as follows:

involved in the two-year pilot evaluation of the Safety Camera Programme were as follows:

Speed limit at camera site (mph) Percentage of sites
30 78.3
40 10.6
50 1.4
60 6.2
70 3.5
Total 100

The pilot areas were selected on the basis that they represented a good mix of demographics, enforcement experience and strategies. The spread of camera enforcement by speed limit is therefore likely to be indicative of the spread of speed limits at camera sites generally.

Further information will be available in the Three Year Report on the Safety Camera Programme, to be published shortly.

In setting the speed at which cameras operate, partnerships follow the Association of Chief Police Officers guidance that the minimum level should be the speed limit, plus 10 per cent., plus 2 mph.
