Business question from Peter Soulsby (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 March 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
I welcome the news that the Road Safety Bill is to be given its Second Reading on Wednesday. The Leader of the House may know of the tragic case of 12-year-old Callum Deacon, who was killed in my constituency last June by a driver who, although he had admitted careless driving, received the derisory penalty of a £2,000 fine and a few points on his licence. Will the right hon. Gentleman assure the House that a speedy Commons timetable is intended for the Bill, so that in future drivers guilty of causing death by careless driving face tough and appropriate punishment from the courts?
