<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>
