Roads: Safety

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government, with regard to the Road Safety Strategy, published on 7 January, whether the Road Safety Board will publish its agenda, papers and minutes in a timely manner.

Answer

On 7 January 2026 we published our new Road Safety Strategy, setting out our vision for a safer future on our roads for all.

The Strategy sets an ambitious target to reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured on British roads by 65% by 2035. Delivery of the Strategy will be supported and monitored by a new Road Safety Board chaired by the Minister for Local Transport.

The Board is currently under development and decisions regarding membership and format will be made in due course.
