Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 18 November 2024 to Question 14142 on Roads: Suicide, and with reference to the Answer of 12 July 2016 to Question 42206 on Roads: Suicide, for what reason data on incidents logged as suicides or attempted suicides is no longer available.

This limitation is not unique to the Strategic Road Network (SRN) and is also the case for all UK roads. National Highways record incidents using operational data and plan interventions based on this. National Highways cannot be confident that every incident it records using operational data was a confirmed suicide or attempted suicide.
