Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government, with regard to the third cycling and walking investment strategy, published on 3 November, what is their target reduction in the rate of cyclists and pedestrians killed and seriously injured.

The consultation on the third Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy, is seeking the views of stakeholders on a national vision, statutory objectives and underlying performance indicators. The shape of the final strategy, intended to be published next year including targets, will be informed by the responses to the consultation.

The Government treats road safety seriously and is committed to reducing the numbers of those killed and injured on our roads. The Road Safety Strategy is under development and will include a broad range of policies. We intend to publish the Strategy this year.
