Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many speeding penalties were issued by police authorities for each year since 2000.

The Home Office collects and publishes data on fixed penalty notices (FPNs) and other outcomes for motoring offences in England and Wales on an annual basis. The most recent data, up to 2021, is available here:

Table 1 below shows the number of speeding offences recorded by police between 2011 and 2021, and how many resulted in a fine being paid.

Table 1 Number of speeding offences recorded by police in England and Wales, and how many resulted in a fine being paid, 2011 to 2021

Excludes ‘cancelled’ and ‘incomplete’ offences.

These figures may be an underestimation, as Durham, North Wales, South Wales, Gwent, North Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire forces do not record all outcomes on the PentiP system.

Equivalent information for years prior to 2011 is not available.
