Asked by: Damian Green (Conservative - Ashford)
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many overseas drivers have been prosecuted for committing the offence of speeding on UK roads between August 2018 and August 2019.
Answered by Chris Philp - Shadow Home Secretary
The Ministry of Justice has published information on the number of defendants prosecuted for speed limit offences in England & Wales over the last decade, up to the year ending December 2018, in the Outcomes by Offence data tool available here:
However, the nationality of defendants is not centrally held in the court proceedings database. As a result, identifying the number of overseas drivers prosecuted for this offence would require a manual search of court records, which would be of disproportionate cost.
Asked by: Damian Green (Conservative - Ashford)
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the average time was between the date of final submission of papers for an immigration appeal and the date of the hearing in the last 12 months for which figures are available; and if he will make a statement.
Answered by Shailesh Vara
HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) does not collect information on the average time between the date of final submission of papers for an immigration appeal and the date of the hearing.
The average time between the date of receipt of an appeal and the date of the hearing in the 12 months up to 30 September 2015 was 23 weeks.
HMCTS has allocated additional court time between December 2015 and March 2016 to ensure current waiting times for hearings are maintained.
