Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what funding is available to support (a) local authorities and (b) police forces with initial installation costs for fixed speed-enforcement cameras.

Part of the money received from drivers attending courses under the National Driver Offending Retraining Scheme (NDORS) goes to the local Road Safety Partnership, where one exists, which includes the local authority, the police and other partners. This is ringfenced to be used for road safety purposes, including the installation and maintenance of safety cameras. Local authorities and the police are also able to use other unringfenced grants to fund additional road safety activity in their area. In areas with no road safety partnership, the funding from NDORS courses goes to the police.
