To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if the Government will set a target of zero road deaths and serious injuries by 2040.
Trudy Harrison
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
While UK roads continue to be among the safest in the world, we can never afford to be complacent or relax efforts to improve what we do. That is why reducing the numbers of those needlessly killed and injured on our roads is a key priority for this Department and as announced on 30 July in our Gear Change: One Year On review (Gear Change: One Year On (publishing.service.gov.uk), we intend to prepare an ambitious new framework for road safety setting out measures for action and improvement.
