It's not legislation. It's guidance from ACPO, viz:
The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) has issued speed enforcement policy guidance, which suggests that enforcement will normally occur when a driver exceeds the speed limit by a particular margin. This is normally 10 per cent over the speed limit plus 2 mph. It also sets guidelines for when it would not be appropriate to issue a fixed penalty notice but to issue a summons instead (see below).

The guidance makes it clear that the officer's judgement may ignore these guidelines in appropriate situations.
