That this House acknowledges all the work done by many honourable Members to persuade Her Majesty's Government to strengthen road safety law; believes that the Transport Committee's recent report, Traffic Law and its Enforcement, sheds light on gaps in current law and in particular the absence of an offence of causing death by careless driving; is alarmed that, because of this lacunae in the law, when 17 year old Alexine Melnik was killed by a careless driver, the Court was able only to fine that driver and put points on his licence; believes that this valued Alexine's life far too cheaply; recognises that the Road Safety Bill provides a prime opportunity to change the law; and calls upon her Majesty's Government to support an amendment to the Bill to fill the gap and create an offence of causing death by careless driving.

That this House welcomes the recommendation made in Open Disclosure: Sustainability and the Listing Regime, written by Mark Mansley of Claros Consulting, that the UKLA should conduct a review of the listing rules to examine the case for the inclusion of social and environmental information; agrees that information disclosure is at the core of the listing process and is essential for the fair and efficient functioning of markets and that information disclosure is rightly governed by the listing rules to ensure documents contain 'all such information as investors and their professional advisers would reasonably require'; believes that recent events such as the listing of Xstrata plc underline the need for adequate disclosure of material sustainability issues; and notes that without such disclosure investors cannot be sure they are taking all financial factors into account, nor that they are meeting their fiduciary responsibilities, or the needs of their clients and that while the current listing regime in theory permits environmental and social disclosure it does little to encourage or require it in practice.
