Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of the Central Motorway Police Group's collaboration with the European Traffic Police Network on improving road safety.
Decisions on how the police enforce the law and deploy their available resources are the responsibility of individual Chief Officers, taking into account the specific local problems and demands with which they are faced.
The Home Office has not made any assessments into the effectiveness of the Central Motorway Police Group’s (CMPG) collaboration with the European Traffic Police Network or in maintaining network resilience and traffic flow or of the ability of West Mercia Police to provide 24 hour patrols.
