Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Graeme Morrice (Labour). It was answered by Lord McLoughlin (Conservative) on Thursday, 29 November 2012 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Road Deaths and Injuries

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will make it his policy to reinstate national targets to reduce deaths and serious injuries on the roads.
Answer

The Government have no plans to reinstate national targets. The strategic framework for road safety sets out measures that we intend to take to continue to reduce casualties. Those include making forecasts of the casualty numbers that we might expect to see through to 2030 if our measures, and the actions of local authorities, are successful.
