Written Question
Global High-level Conference on Road Safety
Tuesday 17th March 2020

Asked by: Baroness Sheehan (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they were represented at the 3rd Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety, held in February; and if so, whether they signed the Stockholm Declaration on road safety.

Answered by Baroness Vere of Norbiton - Parliamentary Secretary (HM Treasury)

I attended the Global Ministerial Conference in Stockholm last month. The Stockholm Declaration was presented at the conference and the UK supports its aims on road safety. It was not signed by the attendees to the Conference.

The Stockholm Declaration is expected to be presented at the UN General Assembly in April for debate. It may be amended from its current form, before being the basis for adoption as a resolution.
