That this House is concerned at the lack of statutory provision of support for families bereaved by road crashes beyond Home Office funding for one support guide by the charity BRAKE; notes that this is in stark contrast to the ??30 million Government funding for Victim Support for families of other crimes; further notes that bereavement damages to families bereaved by road deaths are only ??10,000 and unless a family member witnessed the death they cannot claim compensation for trauma; welcomes the fact that BRAKE and the Motor Accident Solicitors society are campaigning against the proposal to raise the small claims limit from ??1,000, which would limit support for injured victims; acknowledges that many people whose loved ones are killed on the road have extreme traumatic stress symptoms that can lead to long-term illness and depression; believes that this places a burden on the NHS that could be avoided by timely, professionally managed support for these families; and calls on the Government to take urgent action to provide funding for voluntary led support agencies such as BRAKE and funding for professional trauma counsellors across the NHS, and urgently to review the civil claim regulations.

That this House acknowledges that a sustainable, integrated, transport system cannot be achieved without making the roads safe; notes that poor policing of freight and passenger operations enables an unscrupulous minority of operators to run unsafe vehicles, undercutting the more strictly regulated and policed railways and waterways and the majority of safety conscious road transport companies; further notes that a third of people killed on the roads are on foot or on bikes and that a safe road environment must be created if levels of walking and cycling are to be increased; to this end welcomes the work by Brake and PACTS in highlighting these concerns; and calls on the Government to improve the training and education of drivers, make road policing a core objective of the police and better regulate road use.
