	uin	HL5358
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2015 answer text <p>The Home Office does not hold the data requested. The Home Office collects data on the number of Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) issued to motorists for all speeding offences, but cannot separately identify whether an individual was caught exceeding the speed limit in a 20mph zone or a 30mph zone.<br><br>The Ministry of Justice Court Proceedings Database holds information on defendants proceeded against, found guilty and sentenced for criminal offences in England and Wales. However, unless stipulated in statute, the location of an offence cannot be separately analysed. Hence it is not possible to identify whether a defendant proceeded against for a speeding offence has been caught exceeding the speed limit in a 20mph zone, or a 30mph zone. This information may be held by the individual courts in England and as such it can only be obtained at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 05/03/2015 13:02:26 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
