That this House expresses its deepest sympathy to every family in the United Kingdom that has suffered the loss of loved ones killed by criminal motorists; notes with great concern that the maximum sentence for causing death by dangerous driving is only 10 years and that the maximum sentence for aggravated vehicle taking is only five years; believes these sentences do not reflect the heinous nature of the crimes; and calls upon the Home Secretary to urgently amend the Criminal Justice Bill, which is currently going through parliament, to enable charges of manslaughter to be brought against the perpetrators of such crimes; further believes that persons being carried in the offending vehicle could be held as accessories to the crime; and requests that when guilty persons are eventually released they are electronically monitored until they no longer pose a threat to the general public.

That this House congratulates Brake, the road safety organisation, on its success in raising the profile of road safety by encouraging 6,000 schools and companies to run road safety initiatives in Road Safety Week 2000; welcomes the Government's 'THINK!' campaign, which aims to co-ordinate road safety initiatives by various organisations but believes that more can be done in the field of road safety education, enforcement and engineering to save the 70 lives lost each week on United Kingdom roads; and urges the Government to invest more money in such measures in order to meet its challenging casualty reduction targets of 40 per cent. in the number of people killed or seriously injured and 50 per cent. in the number of children killed and seriously injured in road accidents as soon as possible.
