safety programmes and the Treasury. The reinvestment in local road
safety would be split between the Local Highway Authority, the Police,
the Magistrates' Courts and the Local Camera Partnership (a consortium
body of different groups who decide where cameras might be needed and
monitor their relevance etc). It is harder to identify what the
Treasury choose to spend their 15% on because they don't need to
identify 'ring-fenced' funding streams. I suspect it would just go into
the central 'pot' that pays for all public services - not necessarily a
bad thing - because public services cost money."

Still some people prefer to live in their own little world of conspiracy theories.   Ah bless 'em
