Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to improve enforcement against drink-driving in light of recent report by the Institute of Alcohol Studies Running on empty, drink-driving law enforcement in England published on 8 December 2017.

The Government welcomes the report from the Institute of Alcohol Studies. The Latest Department for Transport figures show that fewer people died on British roads in 2015 as a result of drink driving than in any year since records began. Chief Constables and locally elected Police and Crime Commissioners have the powers they need to deploy their resources in response to local priorities.
