Robert Jenrick, the minister of immigration, has been prohibited from driving for the ensuing six months after exceeding the speed limit by about 30 mph.
At a court hearing on Tuesday, Mr. Jenrick was also assessed a total fine of £1,639 pounds.
He previously acknowledged doing 68 mph in a temporary 40 mph zone on the southbound M1 on August 5 of last year between junctions 18 and 17.
The case was dealt with through a Single Justice Procedure at Northampton Magistrates’ Court, which allows a magistrate to rule on criminal cases seen as minor in a closed court, meaning the public and press cannot attend.
They also allow defendants to plead guilty or not guilty in writing which meant that Mr Jenrick, 41, did not have to attend court in person.
Mr Jenrick has been approached for comment.
The MP for Newark, in Nottinghamshire, was travelling after an appearance on BBC Radio 4’s Any Questions at Wakefield Cathedral when he was caught by a speed camera in his Land Rover at around 11.30pm on August 5, the London Evening Standard reported.
The Evening Standard had previously said Mr Jenrick was fined £307 and handed three penalty points in March, for speeding on the A40 in west London in August 2021.
He was fined £1,107, and ordered to pay a £442 victim surcharge and £90 in costs.
