Dangerous Driving
Asked by: Mark Sewards (Labour - Leeds South West and Morley) Monday 3rd March 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to tackle dangerous driving. 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. We are currently considering policy options in this area. THINK! is the Government’s flagship road safety campaign. It aims to reduce the number of people killed and seriously injured on the roads in England and Wales by changing attitudes and behaviours among those at most risk.
The primary audience for THINK! is young men aged 17-24, who are four times more likely to be killed or seriously injured on the road than drivers aged 25 and over.
The latest phase of the THINK! speeding campaign is currently live and highlights the risks of driving too fast for the conditions on rural roads, circumstances that contribute to high numbers of young driver casualties. The campaign features advertising in cinemas, radio, digital audio and gaming environments, as well as working with content creators and influential platforms to tackle speeding via the voices the young audience trust.
The enforcement of road traffic law and how available resources are deployed is the responsibility of individual Chief Officers and Police and Crime Commissioners, taking into account the specific local problems and demands with which they are faced. |

Social Services: Finance
Asked by: Mark Sewards (Labour - Leeds South West and Morley) Friday 7th March 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that social care providers are receiving the £600 million pounds allocated for social care in the Autumn Budget 2024. Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government is making available up to £3.7 billion of additional funding for social care authorities in 2025/26, which includes an £880 million increase in the Social Care Grant, £600 million of which was announced at the Autumn Budget 2024. Overall, core local government spending power will increase by 6.8% in cash terms in 2025/26.

Electric Vehicles: Charging Points
Asked by: Mark Sewards (Labour - Leeds South West and Morley) Friday 28th February 2025 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether his Department is taking steps to ensure that there are adequate electric vehicle charging points for properties that do not have a driveway. Answered by Michael Shanks - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) The Government and industry have supported the installation of over 74,000 public charging devices across the UK. The Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund will transform the availability of electric vehicle (EV) charging for drivers without off-street parking. Through the Fund, an additional 100,000 local chargers are planned to be installed.
For drivers who do not have a driveway, but do have access to on-street parking, Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grants are also available. These offer up to £350 towards the purchase and installation of a chargepoint. To support local authorities, the Government has published guidance on installing cross-pavement solutions for residents without off-street parking. |
