Road Safety Bill [Lords]

The hon. Lady has raised a number of important points, but the key is surely that the Bill does nothing to address concerns about driver sleepiness as a result of the sleep disorders to which she has referred. Would the hon. Lady agree that a major disadvantage of the Bill is that it does not envisage strengthening the process of awarding licences or reviewing medical fitness to drive? Would she also agree that those issues need to be considered by the Department for Transport and that a regular review of medical fitness is required to deal with the problem?
