Wednesday 5th March 2025

Asked by: Alison Bennett (Liberal Democrat - Mid Sussex)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to review offences in the Road Traffic Act 1988 relating to driving under the influence of drinks or drugs.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The Government takes road safety seriously, and we are committed to reducing the numbers of those killed and injured on our roads. My Department has begun work on a new Road Safety Strategy, the first in over a decade, and will share more details in due course.

The Government is listening closely to the concerns of those affected by tragic cases of death or serious injury on our roads.
