Proceeding contribution from Peter Soulsby (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Road Safety Bill [Lords].


Road Safety Bill [Lords]

I welcome that contribution. Concerns can be addressed in Committee. No doubt hon. Members who serve on it will want to return to the subject to ensure that they are. Callum’s death is by no means unique or, I suggest, unusual. It is one of many cases in which justice has been denied to the friends and relatives of those killed by careless drivers. There have been far too many such cases. With some exceptions, the majority of right hon. and hon. Members will agree that we should quickly ensure that his death is one of the last cases when those who are guilty appear to escape proper punishment because of an unacceptable gap in the law.
