Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions she has had with local authorities and police forces on improving enforcement of speed limits around schools.

The Department has not held specific discussions with local authorities or police forces on improving enforcement of speed limits around schools.

The police are responsible for enforcing speed limits and are operationally independent. Decisions on the deployment of resources, including enforcement activity around schools, are a matter for individual chief constables, taking account of local priorities.
