Speed Cameras

Oral answer to question provided on Thursday, 17 June 2010 in the House of Commons, by Mike Penning (Conservative) on behalf of the Department for Transport.

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.

This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Thursday, 17 June 2010 by Gareth Johnson (Conservative).

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?
