Before the Minister answers the question posed by my noble friend Lord Harris, I point out that he seems to be saying that the view of the motorist lobby, which does not like speed cameras, is being taken into account very much more than the views of the relatives of those who have been killed because people have been speeding. There are perfectly good criteria—they have been alluded to—and statistics that show the reduction in accidents caused by the introduction of cameras. The Minister is really saying, ““We are sorry for those who get killed and injured, but must ensure that the motorists don’t get too upset and there aren’t too many columns in the Daily Mail or whatever””. Is that correct, or am I missing something?
