Greg Mulholland – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Greg Mulholland on 2016-04-08.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether his Department’s review of criminal driving offences will consider changes to the distinction between careless and dangerous driving offences.

Dominic Raab

Driving offences can have devastating consequences for victims and their loved ones.

The government is aware of concerns about a number of sentencing issues and is committed to making sure sentencing for driving crimes is proportionate within the context of our wider sentencing framework. It is our intention to commence a consultation in due course which will look at driving offences and penalties.
