The MP for Newark, Nottinghamshire, was also fined a total of £1,639 at a court hearing on Tuesday
Immigration minister Robert Jenrick has been disqualified from driving for six months for breaking a temporary motorway speed limit by almost 30mph.
The MP for Newark was also fined £1,639 after admitting to travelling at 68mph in the 40mph limit area on the M1 in Nottinghamshire on 5 August last year. 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 did not have to attend court in person."I was driving below the national speed limit on an empty motorway, with no road works in sight.More from Politics
