Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department plans to bring forward legislation to amend section 7A of the Road Traffic Act 1988 so that a specimen of blood taken from a driver incapable of giving consent may be tested without that driver's subsequent consent.

The Government recently consulted on possible changes to the law and practice governing drink and drug testing. Responses are being analysed and the Government will set out its conclusions and any next steps in its response to the consultation.
