Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people have been issued speeding fines on the (a) M1, (b) M2, (c) M3, (d) M4, (e) M5 and (f) M6 in each of the last five years for which figures are available.

The Home Office does not hold the information requested centrally.

The Home Office collects and publishes data on the number of fixed penalty notices (FPNs) issued for speed limit offences. An FPN is a prescribed financial penalty issued to a motorist following a range of motoring offences, such as speed limit offences. Detailed information on the location where the offence took place is not collected or held by the Home Office.

Data on FPNs for speed limit offences can be found in the ‘Police Powers and Procedures, England and Wales’ statistical bulletin, which can be accessed here:
