Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the effectiveness of (a) enforcement and (b) deterrent measures aimed at ensuring compliance with speed limits through the towns and villages of Mid Bedfordshire constituency.

Enforcement of speed limits is an operational matter for local Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners, taking into account the specific local problems and demands with which they are faced.

Local authorities have the flexibility to make their own decisions about the design of their streets including any speed deterrent measures.
