Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask Her Majesty's Government on what date the consultation on drink driving will be launched; and whether it will include a question on the case for lowering the blood alcohol content limit.

The Department for Transport will be conducting a call for evidence on parts of the Road Traffic Act 1988. It is expected that we will be in a position to publish this in the first half of 2022. While details are still being worked up as to its scope, it is expected that it will include drink and drug driving offences, and the offence of failure to stop and report. There may be an opportunity to highlight other areas of concern.
