My hon. Friend is right on both points. There has been a dramatic drop in the number of deaths as a result of various measures that have been taken over the past few years. It is sometimes worth pointing out that the number of lives saved, especially young children’s, as a result of some of the road measures that have been taken runs into many hundreds. However, my hon. Friend is also right that a very specific problem has arisen. Discussions are under way in government about what we can do about that and, especially, about what can be done to ensure that we are able to deal with young drivers in either stolen or uninsured vehicles far more quickly than we do at present.

I am sure that my right hon. Friend is aware that over the past decade, the number of people killed in road accidents in the United Kingdom has declined. However, is he aware that over the past five years, there has been a very alarming increase in the number of young drivers killed, very often with young passengers as well? Will he have discussions with the Secretary of
State for Transport to find out why that is happening, and will he bring forward proposals to stem this tragic loss of life?

Mr. Clifton-Brown: To ask the Prime Minister (1) what discussions he has had in connection with the Thames Gateway Communities plans
regarding (a) the Crossrail Project and (b) a new Thames road crossing; [148200]
(2) which Government Departments are involved in plans for the development of the Thames Gateway communities; and what commitments
have been made. [148202]
The Prime Minister: The Thames Gateway involves a number of Government Departments who are all represented in the Cabinet Committee
on the Thames Gateway (MISC 22). Full membership and terms of reference of all Ministerial Committees of the Cabinet are available
in the Library of the House.
The Government's policy was set out in `Creating Sustainable Communities: Making It Happen in Thames Gateway' in July 2003, copies
of which are available on the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's website. This set out a level of Government financial support,
including £446 million of ODPM pump priming funding over three years, to enable the development of at least 120,000 new homes in the
Gateway by 2016.
The Department for Transport's recent announcements concerning the inclusion of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link domestic services in
the Integrated Kent franchise and PFI funding support for the Thames Gateway Bridge in East London demonstrate the Government's
continuing support for investment in infrastructure in the Gateway.
On Crossrail the Secretary of State for transport has asked a review team to look at the proposals for Crossrail from Cross London
Rail Links.
I have regular meetings and discussions with ministerial colleagues and others on a wide range of subjects and will continue to do
so. As with previous Administrations, it is not my practice to provide details of confidential discussions, under exemption 2 of
Part 2 of the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information.
