To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when the new Road Safety Strategy will be announced.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when the new Road Safety Strategy will be announced.
Improving road safety is one of my key priorities. Too many people are killed and seriously injured in road traffic collisions, and this Government will work hard to prevent these tragedies for all road users. That is why we are developing our Road Safety Strategy.
At the Transport Select Committee in April 2025, the Secretary of State set out that we hope to publish the Strategy later this year.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she plans to take to reduce the number of car accidents among (a) recently-qualified and (b) young drivers.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she plans to take to reduce the number of car accidents among (a) recently-qualified and (b) young drivers.
We recognise that young people are disproportionately victims of tragic incidents on our roads. As work progresses on the new road safety strategy, we are exploring options to tackle the root causes of this without unfairly penalising young drivers.
My Department’s THINK! campaign aims to reduce the number of people killed and seriously injured on the roads in England and Wales, and is primarily focused on men aged 17-24. THINK! plays an important role in raising awareness of risky driving behaviours amongst young people. This has recently included campaigns on drink-driving and speeding on rural roads.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to help reduce road (a) deaths and (b) serious injuries among young people.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to help reduce road (a) deaths and (b) serious injuries among young people.
The Government treats road safety seriously, and we are committed to reducing the numbers of those killed and injured on our roads. My department is developing our road safety strategy and will set out more details in due course.
Road safety is devolved to Northern Ireland (as well as to Wales and Scotland).

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much and what proportion of UK Guarantees Scheme guarantees issued to date have been allocated to road projects in Northern Ireland.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much and what proportion of UK Guarantees Scheme guarantees issued to date have been allocated to road projects in Northern Ireland.
To date, no guarantees under the UK Guarantees Scheme have been issued to road projects in Northern Ireland. This information, alongside details of the UK Guarantees scheme, is publicly available here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/uk-guarantees-scheme. The UK Guarantees Scheme was established in 2012, with a capacity of up to £40 billion, to support private investment in UK infrastructure projects. As the scheme is demand-led, it only operates where needed and guarantees are not allocated by region. So far, the UK Guarantees Scheme has issued £1.8 billion of guarantees, supporting over £4 billion worth of investment.
That this House notes the changes which came into effect on 1 September 2018 regarding how new cars are tested for miles per gallon assessment; recognises that millions of motorists over many years expressed annoyance and anger at the previous tests, the results of which grossly overestimated miles per gallon only achievable in a totally unrealistic way; and calls for the new test to be monitored in such a way that motorists can have confidence that the mpg figure they see advertised is achievable in real world driving circumstances rather than carefully controlled lab conditions.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will meet his counterparts in the devolved administrations to ensure that best practice on reducing the numbers of road deaths across the UK is shared.

THINK! supports pedestrian road safety education though engaging intermediaries â e.g. teachers, road safety professionals & parents - who are able to deliver road safety messages using free resources, to children and teenagers in a credible and impactful way. THINK! is reviewing their education offer in order to ensure materials and road safety messages are up-to-date and relevant for the current generation.
THINK! is also working closely with partners at the RAC and the Scouts Association to develop road safety resources for out-of-school groups, to ensure road safety is continued to be taught in and outside the classroom.
The Department is providing £50 million over the next four years to support Bikeability cycle training in schools in England (outside London). This funding will help to increase children's road awareness, encourage active travel and improve future motoristsâ empathy for more vulnerable road users.
That this House notes the consistent criticism that has been levied against car manufacturers for a number of years, whereby new cars are given miles per gallon (mpg) performances almost all of which are more than 20 per cent in excess of genuine real-time car usage, so that a vehicle which is, in strictly controlled tests, capable of 50 mpg is only able to achieve less than 40 mpg by those buying and using the vehicle; and calls on the motor trade industry to implement a realistic driving assessment so that the general car-buying public knows when it sees a mpg figure that it is genuine, realistic and achievable.

That this House notes that the Korean car manufacturing firm Kia has produced a new small car which it has called the Provo; further notes that this name has caused deep offence given that the Provisional IRA were known as the Provos when they were murdering and bombing in Northern Ireland, the rest of the UK, as well as in Germany where the name is supposed to have been chosen; and calls on Kia to reconsider, and bring forward a new name which is not associated with terror and mayhem.

That this House notes the unprecedented price rises in fuel in recent weeks; further notes the much trumpeted delay in the introduction of a further duty increase by the Government in the Autumn Statement; and calls on the Government to assist motorists, industry, isolated regions of the UK hit hardest by these price increases and the overall economy by not just stalling on further increases but to introduce a reduction in fuel duty of at least 10 pence per litre which, in addition to helping these groups, would also assist the nation's recovery prospects.
