To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department has made an assessment of the road safety risk posed by drivers who continue to hold a valid driving entitlement while having accumulated 12 or more penalty points for speeding offences.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department has made an assessment of the road safety risk posed by drivers who continue to hold a valid driving entitlement while having accumulated 12 or more penalty points for speeding offences.
Where a driving licence holder has accumulated 12 or more penalty points, a court can exercise its discretion and decide not to disqualify them.
Courts may allow drivers to retain their entitlement to drive where it is considered that disqualification would cause exceptional hardship. These decisions are for the courts, not the Department for Transport.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the effectiveness of the penalty points system in deterring repeat speeding offenders.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the effectiveness of the penalty points system in deterring repeat speeding offenders.
The Department for Transport does not hold an estimate of the number of speeding offenders who go on to commit additional motoring offences. The Home Office, which publishes statistics on roads policing, has confirmed that this information is not held.
The penalty points system is designed to act as a deterrent. Penalty points are applied for a range of motoring offences, including speeding, and accumulate on a driver’s record. Drivers who reach 12 or more points within a three-year period are liable for disqualification.
Department for Transport research published in 2008 examined whether the threat of disqualification deterred drivers from speeding and found that it did. The research indicated that the threat of disqualification was effective, with relatively low reconviction rates, and suggested it may be a stronger deterrent than disqualification alone.
This cumulative approach over a three year period is intended to provide a longer lasting deterrent to repeat offending, across a variety of motoring offences, including speeding.
The Department keeps the motoring offences framework under review to ensure it remains effective in promoting road safety.

No. This analysis was commissioned by the previous government.
I thank my hon. Friend for raising this issue, because the Government are cracking down on disgraceful waste criminals through, for instance, tougher penalties for fly-tippers—including service in clean-up squads, and the potential loss of their driving licences—more powers and funding for the Environment Agency, and stronger checks across the industry to tackle fly-tipping at its source.

Janet Daby (Lewisham East) (Lab):
Littering and fly-tipping are a blight on our communities. This is not just an issue for Lewisham, but an issue for towns and cities across our country and, indeed, in rural areas. No one wants to see a dirty mattress, or cans or bottles, left beside roads or against gates. It is awful. I welcome the Government’s strategy and the plans to give councils more powers to manage fly-tipping, but I strongly believe that more needs to be done. Does the Prime Minister agree that it is time for a national conversation about how we manage and deal with littering?

My Lords, the House should take account of two factors. My understanding of the advice from the much-respected Jonathan Hall, the Government’s adviser on terrorism legislation, is that specific new legislation is required to ensure that malign state actors can be proscribed and dealt with.
