Written Question
Motorcycles: Safety
Thursday 16th April 2026

Asked by: Graham Stuart (Conservative - Beverley and Holderness)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to introduce a strategy for motorcycle safety.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood - Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury

By miles travelled, motorcyclists are over 40 times more likely to be killed or seriously injured than someone travelling by car. That is why motorcyclist safety was included in the new Road Safety Strategy.

Although there are no plans for a separate motorcycle strategy at this time the Road Safety Strategy announced a consultation on an ambitious package of reforms to the training, testing and licensing regime for Category A moped and motorcycle licences in Great Britain. That consultation closes on May 11th.
