Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he has made an assessment of the lessons that his Department could learn from (a) Oslo and (b) Helsinki on reducing road deaths to zero.

Whilst we look closely at a wide range of international examples, we have not made a specific assessment of Oslo or Helsinki.

The Department for Transport takes road safety for all road users seriously. Road fatality figures for Great Britain have been among the lowest in the world for many years. In 2022, Great Britain ranked fifth out of 38 countries with available data for lowest number of road fatalities per million population.
