The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to increase compliance with 30mph speed limits.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

Enforcement of the speed limit is a matter for the police. Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners are operationally independent and policing of our roads and how available resources are deployed is the responsibility of individual chief officers, taking into account the specific local issues.
