Oral Answers to Questions

Sureena Brackenridge Excerpts

Thursday 10th October 2024 Commons Chamber

[Louise Haigh]

The hon. Lady can wait for the Budget!

[Mrs Sureena Brackenridge (Wolverhampton North East) (Lab)]

T3. Dangerous driving is a major concern, particularly following a serious crash in my constituency last week. With West Midlands police committed to Vision Zero, what additional support is the Department for Transport providing to help local enforcement and campaigns to tackle speeding and other dangerous driving behaviours?

[Lilian Greenwood]

I thank my hon. Friend for raising that vital question. Every death on our roads is a tragedy. We expect drivers to observe the speed limit, and, of course, enforcement is a matter for the police. Last week, I met Richard Parker, the Mayor of the west midlands, to discuss our shared determination to improve road safety.
