Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between John Lamont and Lilian Greenwood

Thursday 9th January 2025 Commons Chamber

[Lilian Greenwood]

Of course, the Department is responsible for legislation and the guidance to help them to do so. I continue to engage with local authorities to ensure we are providing them with the support they need to make our roads safer.
