	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2019 answer text <p>The responsibility for the enforcement of criminal law, including traffic offences, is a matter for the Police who work under Home Office guidance. Decisions on how the Police deploy resources is a matter for the Police and Crime Commissioners and the Chief Constables for each police force.</p><p> </p><p>The detailed statistics on prosecutions and convictions for motoring offences between 2010 and 2017 have been fairly stable. However there has been an increase in Police using education courses under the National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme (NDORS) from 467,601 courses in 2010 to 1,445,817 in 2018.</p><p> </p><p>The National Speed Awareness Course impact evaluation, published in 2017, found that participation in the course was more effective at preventing speed reoffending than fines and penalty points over a period of 3 years following the initial offer to attend.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2019 answer text <p>The Department holds performance data on a rail period (13 four-week periods per year) basis, rather than according to calendar months.</p><p>For punctuality we hold the data as the Public Performance Measure (PPM), the percentage of trains arriving at their destination within five minutes of schedule. For reliability we hold the data as Cancellations and Significant Lateness, the percentage of services that are cancelled or delayed by more than thirty minutes.</p><p>The periodic results for the Thameslink route between Bedford and London, covering all days of the week in both directions, are contained in the table below. This does include the vast majority of services that passengers from Bedford would use, except for a small number of services which stop at all stations south of St Albans, which are counted in a separate ‘metro’ category. As this is data for the entire service group, it will include some trains that did not run the full length of the route.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Period</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>PPM</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>CaSL</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>9 December 2018 – 5 January 2019</p></td><td><p>85.6%</p></td><td><p>4.4%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>6 January 2019 – 2 February 2019</p></td><td><p>83.0%</p></td><td><p>4.5%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>3 February 2019 – 2 March 2019</p></td><td><p>85.9%</p></td><td><p>4.0%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>3 March 2019 – 31 March 2019</p></td><td><p>83.7%</p></td><td><p>5.8%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1 April 2019 – 27 April 2019</p></td><td><p>88.4%</p></td><td><p>4.2%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>28 April 2019 – 25 May 2019</p></td><td><p>86.4%</p></td><td><p>3.0%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 24/06/2019 12:46:41 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
