To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to make e-bike rental operators liable for accidents resulting from misuse.
The Government is empowering local leaders in England to regulate shared cycle schemes through licensing. Safety and accountability will be core considerations as we implement this.
We will be launching a public consultation in the coming months on the implementation of licensing which will include consideration of the right balance of responsibilities and accountability in shared cycle schemes.
Licensing will be implemented following public consultation through a combination of regulations and guidance.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of introducing a policy requiring drivers to report collisions with cats.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of introducing a policy requiring drivers to report collisions with cats.
I recognise how distressing it must be for pet owners to lose cats in road collisions, especially when they are unable to find out what has happened.
Although there is no obligation to report all animal deaths on roads, drivers should, if possible, make enquiries to ascertain the owner of domestic animals, such as cats, and advise them of the situation.
However, there are no plans to introduce a legal duty for drivers to report collisions with cats.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the operational benefits of using drones to provide police officers with real time aerial intelligence when responding to road traffic collisions, searches for criminal suspects and other emergency incidents.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the operational benefits of using drones to provide police officers with real time aerial intelligence when responding to road traffic collisions, searches for criminal suspects and other emergency incidents.
The Government recognises the benefits that drone technology can provide to policing operations. The Home Office has supported police forces to develop Drone as First Responders (DFR) through funding of the NPCC Drones Programme since 2022. This programme aims to trial and better understand the benefits of these innovative drone capabilities for future police aviation, as well as standardise and professionalise the use of drones across all 43 forces in England and Wales to develop a safe and effective national drone capability for policing.
To date, the Home Office has allocated over £11m to the NPCC Drones programme, and through this, six forces are now operating DFR, all of which are extending into multi-city operations, and an additional eight forces will be coming online this year. The programme will contribute towards a better understanding of the role that future and current drone technology can play as part of police air support, including rural areas.
Though the department has not undertaken its own separate assessment on the operational benefits of drones to policing, we support and oversee the funding for the NPCC Drones programme, who are investigating Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone flight, analysing results, and mapping benefits to policing. Therefore, the Home Office has considered evidence provided by policing partners on the operational benefits of drone technology, which indicate improved response times, positive public safety outcomes, and efficient use of police resources. The Government will continue to monitor emerging evidence from the programme and operational deployments to inform future policy development and funding decisions.
Regarding rural crime, this year the programme is focussing on developing a longer-endurance fixed-wing capability, which will provide a more rapid response in large rural areas than current drone capabilities, which are either shorter range or still need to travel to the scene by car. All the benefits drones provide to police operations generally will apply to rural crime, and developing a safe and effective drone capability will strengthen rural policing, improve response times and support enforcement in harder-to-reach areas. However, the programme is proactively working on getting them to rural countryside locations more quickly and ensuring they have the right equipment on board to allow a positive outcome. The programme is also working with the National Rural Crime Unit to ensure that rural crime is appropriately considered when implementing national police use of drone capabilities.

Statistics on drivers killed in road collisions with toxicology results is based on data reported to police using the STATS19 system and data that is received by the Department from coroners and procurators’ fiscal. The latest year for which coroner and procurators’ fiscal data is available is 2024.
The number of a) drivers or riders killed in road collisions, in Great Britain, where toxicology results were available for alcohol or drugs and;
the proportion of all deceased drivers or riders this represents, for each of the last 10 years is provided in the table below.
Year | Killed drivers or riders with toxicology available for alcohol or drugs | Proportion of all killed drivers or riders |
2024 | 656 | 75% |
2023 | 641 | 74% |
2022 | 689 | 71% |
2021 | 575 | 67% |

Note: Pedal cycle riders and horse riders have been filtered out of the data. This is because the current prescribed alcohol and drug limits apply only to drivers of motor vehicles. This only includes drivers or riders aged 16 or above.
Information on (b) the number of killed drivers and riders with toxicology available for alcohol and;
c) the number with toxicology available for drugs area available on GOV.uk in tables 1 and 2 of the report on “Drugs in reported road fatalities in Great Britain”: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/developing-drug-driving-statistics

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of roads policing levels on the trends in levels of people killed or seriously injured in road traffic collisions in West Dorset.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of roads policing levels on the trends in levels of people killed or seriously injured in road traffic collisions in West Dorset.
The Government continues to support effective roads policing and road safety enforcement as part of wider efforts to reduce casualties and tackle criminality on the road network. The Department for Transport’s Road Safety Strategy, published in January 2026, sets out a comprehensive plan to reduce road deaths and serious injuries by 65% by 2035. Roads policing is recognised as a national policing capability and forces are expected to maintain appropriate capabilities to help prevent harm, save lives and support road safety.
In 2026-27, Dorset Police will receive up to £204.5 million in funding, an increase of up to £8.7 million compared with 2025-26. The deployment of police officers and allocation of roads policing resources, including on the A35 and other roads in West Dorset, are operational matters for the Chief Constable of Dorset Police, who is best placed to assess local threats, risks and demands. The Home Office does not assess roads policing coverage on specific roads or in individual localities and has made no specific assessment of the impact of roads policing levels on the number of people killed or seriously injured in road traffic collisions in West Dorset. It is the responsibility for Police and Crime Commissioners to set local policing priorities and to hold Chief Constables to account.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how many (a) minor, (b) moderate and (c) major incident notification forms have been submitted to the Office for Nuclear Regulation in each year since 2010.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how many (a) minor, (b) moderate and (c) major incident notification forms have been submitted to the Office for Nuclear Regulation in each year since 2010.
ONR’s incident notification process requires dutyholders to state their judgement on an incident’s significance as minor, moderate or major in the initial notification form. A “major incident notification form” therefore does not necessarily correspond to a “major incident” or represent ONR’s final assessment.
The same incident may be reported more than once where it involves multiple dutyholders or ONR regulatory purposes.
Figures cover dutyholder notifications submitted between 1 January 2017 and 1 September 2026. ONR introduced its WIReD information-management system in 2016; earlier data is not retrievable within the timeframe.
