question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Kramer on 27 January (HL4314), what they have done to integrate security arrangements with the creation of more passenger-friendly environments at major transport interchanges.
tabling member printed	Lord Bradshaw
uin	HL5172
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2015 answer text <p>The creation of more passenger-friendly environments at major transport interchanges can improve passengers’ sense of security through for example better lighting, more information and retail outlets. It is important that all those responsible for the security arrangements at the interchange work together closely to ensure that these are as seamless and integrated as possible. At many major locations there are regular meetings where the British Transport Police (BTP) works in close partnership with local authorities, transport organisations and retailers to share intelligence and plan patrol strategies. The BTP also uses an evidence-based patrol strategy to help identify hot-spot crime locations within the interchange environment and has invested in training its front line staff so that they have the skills to challenge long-term structural or environmental issues which can allow crime to develop within a specific area.</p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 02/03/2015 14:39:55 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government which police forces are actively monitoring 20 mph speed limit compliance; and how many prosecutions were brought for speeding in 20 mph zones between 2010 and 2014.
tabling member printed	Lord Teverson
uin	HL5193
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2015 answer text <p>The Home Office does not hold the information requested. Enforcement of speed limits is an operational matter for the police.</p><p>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. 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><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 02/03/2015 15:13:00 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
