My young constituent, James Harrold, aged 19, from Middlewich, lost both his legs after being hit by a police car travelling at speed. In 2011-12, police vehicles were the cause of 18 deaths and many serious injuries such as those sustained by James. What are the Government doing to ensure that the number of such tragic incidents is reduced?

I thank my hon. Friend for raising this issue, and certainly the case to which she referred is very distressing. While speed limits do not apply to vehicles used for emergency service purposes if observance of the limit is likely to hinder that purpose, I can assure her that emergency services drivers remain subject at all times to the law on careless and dangerous driving, of which exceeding the speed limit may be a component. The Department for Transport has recently consulted on the issue of extending the exemption to other emergency services, but it has also looked at amending road safety legislation so that emergency drivers will be required to complete high speed driving training before they
are allowed to exceed the limit, and it proposes to base that training on the code drawn up by the emergency services.

My Department has not issued any advice on the fitting and use of covert lights for fire authority senior management, neither does it seek information on these issues from fire and rescue authorities. It is for each individual fire and rescue authority to ensure that the use of covert lights is operationally appropriate, provides value for money, and meets the requirements of relevant legislation. The use of blue lights on an emergency service vehicle are regulated under the. Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations 1989.

The Home Office has not issued any guidance to Police and Crime Commissioners or Police and Crime Panels on the fitting or use of covert public warning equipment (lights and sirens) to police vehicles used by police force senior management and we do not collect any information about this. The fitting and appropriate use of public warning equipment is an operational matter and is the responsibility of chief officers of police, who will take into account the value for money of such equipment as part of their decision making.

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is undertaking work to develop vehicle and equipment sub-systems and exploit the information they provide on vehicle performance and reliability. This will ensure that operational benefits are gained through improved equipment availability, better fleet management and optimised through life support.
Specifically, the MOD is in the process of equipping over 500 combat vehicles in the Operational Training Fleet with a Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS). This project will connect information between vehicle platforms, MOD establishments and industry leading to improved fleet performance and availability.
