However, not all offences are individually reported within the centrally held data. Data for offences under Section 14 (3) of the Road Traffic Act 1988 are reported as part of a miscellaneous group of offences, and it is not possible to separately identify prosecutions for these specific offences from other offences under the Act. Nor does centrally held data indicate the number of offenders who opted to attend a driving safety course. This information may be held by the individual courts in England and Wales and as such it can only be obtained at disproportionate cost</p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 11/06/2014 16:55:29 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright
