Speed Cameras

Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Gareth Johnson (Conservative). It was answered on Thursday, 17 June 2010 on behalf of the Department for Transport.

Question

I am grateful for that reassurance. Does the Minister agree that when speed cameras are used more as a money-raising mechanism than as a road-safety measure, confidence in them will continue to fall?

Answer

There are now three times as many speed cameras in this country as there were in 2000, and the public must be confident that speed cameras are there for road safety, not as a cash cow. Under this Government, they will be.
