Michael Howard, the former Conservative party leader, has been fined £900 after he was convicted of failing to say who was driving his car when it was caught by a speed camera. 

Seventy-five-year-old Lord Howard and his 76-year-old wife Sandra claimed either of them could have been driving their Toyota Prius when it was caught clocking 37.3mph in a 30mph zone. 

The car was driven through Lewisham in south-east London on January 24.  

Subsequently, the former Home Secretary was convicted of failing to give information relating to the identification of a vehicle to the Metropolitan Police and was fined £900 plus £625 costs and a £90 victim surcharge and received six penalty points on his licence.  

He said he intends to appeal.
