This briefing paper answers Frequently Asked Questions about roads and vehicles.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, on how many occasions have DVLA misread the image from an ANPR camera in the most recent year for which records are available.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, on how many occasions have DVLA misread the image from an ANPR camera in the most recent year for which records are available.
The total number of ANPR images read between July 2025 and June 2026 was 95.6 million, of which 1.3 million were potential unlicensed vehicles. After the removal of those vehicles sighted more than once, 511,801 were reviewed by staff who identified 45,427 images which contained misread number plates. The DVLA routinely checks for misreads before taking action regarding non-payment of Vehicle Excise Duty.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment has been made of the effectiveness of the use of body-worn cameras by police officers.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment has been made of the effectiveness of the use of body-worn cameras by police officers.
The Government recognises the important role that body-worn video can play in supporting effective, transparent and accountable policing. College of Policing and National Police Chief’s Council guidance supports the use of body-worn video during police encounters, including stop and search. Operational decisions on its deployment remain a matter for Chief Constables.
The College of Policing, in its 2024 guidance, highlights that body-worn video can improve evidential capture, support transparency and accountability by providing an objective record of police-public interactions, and strengthen public confidence through facilitating scrutiny of police encounters and the use of police powers.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what revenue has been generated from speed camera enforcement penalties in England in each of the last five years.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what revenue has been generated from speed camera enforcement penalties in England in each of the last five years.
HM Treasury does not hold data on flows into the consolidated fund from speeding camera enforcement penalties. Revenue generated from fines for motoring offences is retained by Departments or directed into the Consolidated Fund.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment her Department has made of the effectiveness of average speed cameras in supporting police enforcement of speed limits in urban areas.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment her Department has made of the effectiveness of average speed cameras in supporting police enforcement of speed limits in urban areas.
The Government takes road safety seriously and recognises the important role that roads policing and speed enforcement play in reducing the number of people killed and seriously injured on our roads. Operational policing decisions, however, are taken locally by chief officers based on local needs and priorities.
The Home Office has not made an assessment of the effectiveness of average speed cameras in supporting the enforcement of speed limits in urban areas, nor has it had discussions with West Midlands Police regarding its approach to enforcement of speeding offences. Decisions on the deployment of speed cameras, including the type of camera used and where it is installed, the deployment of roads policing officers and the enforcement of speeding offences are operational matters for Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners. Speed enforcement forms part of wider operational road safety activity undertaken by police forces in response to local risks and priorities.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of average speed camera installations on urban roads on numbers of casualties.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of average speed camera installations on urban roads on numbers of casualties.
The Department for Transport has not made assessments of the effectiveness of average speed camera systems in reducing collisions in France, Germany or the Netherlands, and has not made recent assessments specifically of the impact of average speed camera installations on casualty numbers, speeding violations or fatal road traffic collisions in urban areas.
The deployment and operation of speed camera systems are matters for local police forces and traffic authorities, which are responsible for decisions on where cameras are installed.
The Department provides guidance on the use of speed and red-light cameras and has committed to updating this guidance as part of the Road Safety Strategy, with evidence gathering and assessment forming part of that work. The Department does not maintain a central record of average speed camera systems installed in England or of local authorities that may have received funding support for such installations.

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether her Department plans to introduce regulations on the use of camera-enabled smart glasses, such as Meta Smart Glasses, for filming in public spaces.
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether her Department plans to introduce regulations on the use of camera-enabled smart glasses, such as Meta Smart Glasses, for filming in public spaces.
The Government has no current plans to introduce specific legislation on the use of smart glasses for filming in public spaces because there are already criminal offences in place to deal with harmful conduct. Individuals who record other people in public places without their consent to cause alarm or distress or for the purposes of sexual gratification may be guilty of offences such as harassment, stalking or voyeurism. Sharing intimate images on the internet without the consent of the individual is also a criminal offence.
Once images captured on smart glasses are uploaded to the internet, online services are obliged to consider requests from individuals under the UK GDPR to remove them. Platforms also have duties to remove illegal material under the Online Safety Act. We do not wish to prevent law-abiding citizens from using the glasses for private or domestic purposes where this does not pose harm to other people. We will continue to monitor this issue.

My Department is planning to hold an initial workshop later this month, which will serve as an opportunity to begin shaping the direction of the programme. During this session, DfT officials will engage with a range of stakeholders and representatives from local authorities, providing a platform for participants to share their perspectives, highlight key concerns, and contribute local knowledge and experience.

My Lords—
I am grateful to the noble Baroness, and to the Minister for that reply.
That disclosure was made yesterday to a Select Committee in another place—that a Chinese cellular module was discovered in the then Prime Minister’s car—and on the previous day, there was a report of secret cameras being discovered...

My Lords, with apologies for jumping the gun in my enthusiasm, perhaps the Government could comment on this. It is bad enough, although perhaps all too predictable, that there is illicit surveillance by way of, for example, hidden cameras. But what about when public money is actively used to procure...

My Lords, I am sure the whole House will agree that this is a highly disturbing and troubling discovery, which demonstrates the severity of the espionage threat that we face today. To pick up on the point made by the noble Lord, Lord Alton, given that the camera was found...

Again, I would caution the noble Lord about jumping to conclusions as to who, what, where or when was behind the device that was found. I genuinely caution him on that but, with
