Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions her Department has had with the Ministry of Justice and Home Office on the potential use of alcohol interlocks as a condition for repeat and high-risk drink-driving offenders returning to the road.

The Government consulted on allowing alcohol ignition locks, or alcolocks, to be used as part of drink-drive rehabilitation, recognising their potential to reduce reoffending. We are currently analysing the responses.

We will work with the Ministry of Justice to prepare a Justice Impact Test to assess the impacts on the justice system of any proposed changes taken forward following the consultation.
