EDM 1607 REPORT BY THE PARLIAMENTARY ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR TRANSPORT SAFETY ON WHERE NEXT FOR ROAD SAFETY?

Leech, John 

That this House acknowledges the conclusions drawn in the report Tackling the Deficit: where next for road safety? by the Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety and the RAC Foundation on the importance of having a national strategy; notes the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's finding that countries with casualty reduction targets had 17 per cent lower fatalities than countries without targets; and calls on the Government to recognise this evidence by maintaining the UK's commitment to this approach.
