Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Road Safety statement of July 2019, what progress his Department has made on setting up a Rural Road Users Advisory Panel.
The Department for Transport has commenced with initial scoping work on a Rural Roads Working Group. The focus of this group is to bring together a range of groups to better understand the diverse issues of road safety in rural areas.
Work will continue to be progressed as quickly as possible once the current focus on handling the COVID-19 crisis and our recovery has eased.
