Immigration minister Robert Jenrick has reacted to his speeding penalty in a statement, insisting he would not "knowingly exceed the speed limit". Responding to the sentence, passed in a closed court without Jenrick's requirement to attend, he said: “I accept the court’s decision.
“I was driving below the national speed limit on an empty motorway, with no road works in sight. I now understand that a variable speed limit had been applied, which I didn’t see.
“I wouldn’t knowingly exceed the speed limit.”
