answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/03/2015 answer text <p>Britain is a world leader in road safety, but we are always striving to improve. For example, from 2 March this year it is now an offence to drive with certain drugs in your body in excess of official limits.</p><p> </p><p>And measures in the deregulation bill will remove the driver’s right to demand a blood or urine test if they fail a breathalyser test.</p><p> </p><p>The Department issued revised guidance in January 2013 aimed mainly at local traffic authorities who are responsible for setting speed limits on local roads. It has also been designed to help explain to everyone why and how local speed limits are determined. This circular has been revised following full public consultation in summer 2012.</p><p> </p><p>Traffic authorities set local speed limits in situations where local needs and conditions suggest a speed limit which is lower than the national speed limit. They have the flexibility to set local speed limits that are appropriate for the individual road, reflecting local needs and taking account of local considerations.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 17/03/2015 15:24:58 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/03/2015 answer text <p>In developing the route alignment for HS2 Phase One a wide variety of suggestions have been considered from many different sources, including the Community Forums. The main local alternatives considered are described in the Environmental Statement published in November 2013. These can be found in section 2.6 in each of the Volume 2 Community Forum area reports. Given the scale of suggestions received it would not be possible or practical to identify those changes that are a direct result of the Community Forums alone.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 17/03/2015 15:36:01 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
