question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to deal with the rise in road casualties among children.
tabling member printed	Lord Bradshaw
uin	HL5342
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2017 answer text <p>It is important to be clear about the statistics on road casualties. Child road casualties are currently at an historic low. The total number of children who were killed or seriously injured (KSI casualties) in 2015, the last complete calendar year statistics are available for, is 13 per cent lower than the 2010-14 average and represents a 6 per cent fall from the previous year.</p><p> </p><p>Whilst recently published provisional figures for the year ending September 2016 suggest a rise in child KSI casualties in comparison with the year ending September 2015, it is important to note that these provisional figures are estimates based on incomplete returns from police forces and are subject to considerable uncertainty. The provisional 2016 statistics will be revised and not finalised until June 2017.</p><p> </p><p>The government remains firmly committed to providing cycle training to school children in order to give the next generation of cyclists the skills and confidence to cycle safely on local roads. In recognition of the importance of this, we will provide £50 million up to 2019/20 to support Bikeability cycle training in schools. This funding will help to increase children's road awareness, encourage active travel and improve future motorists’ empathy for more vulnerable road users. Recent research shows significant improvements in children’s ability to perceive road hazards after Bikeability training.</p><p> </p><p>We also support child road safety through our THINK! educational resources. We are updating our current programme to include a framework for age appropriate Road Safety Education skills and appropriate material for education practitioners.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 22/02/2017 11:46:36 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

Once the Great Repeal Bill is given Royal Assent, Parliament will be free – subject to international agreements and treaties with other countries and the EU on matters such as trade – to amend, repeal and improve any law it chooses. The Government is carefully considering all of the implications arising from the UK’s exit from the European Union. However until exit negotiations are concluded, the UK remains a full member of the EU and all the rights and obligations of EU membership remain in force.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed to increasing the accessibility of rail transport and ensuring that disabled people have the same access to transport and opportunities to travel as everyone else. We will shortly be publishing an Accessibility Action Plan which will bring together a range of actions from across different transport modes to address the barriers faced by disabled people accessing public transport.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 22/02/2017 11:43:03 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
