During this period, minor motoring cases have fallen by 67% across England and Wales. This followed changes to the list of specified offences made in 2012 which transferred responsibility for prosecuting many low level motoring offences back to the police.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland grouped question UIN 213933 question first answered 06/02/2019 16:04:38 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland
