Clause 17 - Speed assessment equipment detection devices
Road Safety Bill
5:00 pm
Mr David Jamieson (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Transport; Plymouth, Devonport, Labour)
The provisions will be implemented at the earliest possible date. They are important measures and I think that little further consultation on the issue is needed; there is strong public feeling about them. We have included no provision to compensate people who have bought equipment with a view to avoiding being caught on a camera, when, clearly, their only purpose in doing so was to speed at sites where they thought that the cameras were not operational.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 17 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
