Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have any new proposals to reduce significantly the number of road casualties.

Britain has some of the world’s lowest road casualty rates. But, in line with our Manifesto commitment, we are determined to do more to make our roads even safer. The British Road Safety Statement, published on 21 December 2015, sets out the Government’s priorities for action, including practical measures to help vulnerable groups stay safe on our roads, extra money to crackdown on drug drivers and tougher penalties for people using mobile phones while driving.

Copies of the British Road Safety Statement are available in the Libraries of the House.
