(asked on 24th February 2020) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to implement the principles set out in the Stockholm Declaration, adopted by the Third Ministerial Global Conference on Road Safety in February; and in particular, changes to speed limits.
This question was answered on 9th March 2020
The UK supports the aims of the Stockholm Declaration on road safety. The UK is already committed to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and already adopts a safe system approach to road safety.
We recognise that speed limits play an important part in road safety, and we already encourage local authorities to consider 20 mph where it is appropriate
