To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress has been made in increasing safety on rural roads in the last five years.
Jesse Norman
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Government’s priorities for improving road safety are set out in the British Road Safety Statement. We intend to publish a progress report towards the end of this year. Funding is being made available through the £175million Safer Roads Fund to improve the safety of the most dangerous local A-roads in England. The THINK! Country roads campaign targets improving safety on rural roads. Casualties on rural roads in 2016 were 6% lower than in 2012.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
