Lord Robertson of Port Ellen – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Robertson of Port Ellen on 2015-11-25.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what actions are planned in the UK to fulfil the objectives of reducing deaths and injuries on the roads included in the global Sustainable Development Goals.

Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

The Conservative Manifesto 2015 had a commitment to reduce the number of cyclists and other road users killed or injured on our roads every year. This commitment aligns with the Sustainable Development Goal of halving the number of road traffic deaths and injuries globally by 2020. We are working closely with road safety groups to consider what more can be done in the UK and we believe that every death is a tragedy and is one too many.
