Karen Lumley – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Karen Lumley on 2016-06-20.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department holds statistics on the prosecution of motorists for (a) speeding and (b) other motoring offences in supermarket car parks.

Mike Penning

The Home Office does not collect data on prosecutions for motoring offences. Data on prosecutions for motoring offences are held by the Ministry of Justice and are published in their quarterly Criminal Justice Statistics publication. However it is not possible to separately identify motoring offences committed in supermarket car parks. This information can only be obtained at disproportionate cost. The publication can be accessed at the link below:
