answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text <p>The number of people killed in road accidents in the UK has fallen slightly since 2010, from 1,905 in 2010 to 1,860 in 2016. Prior to 2010 there were larger reductions in the numbers of people killed in road accidents in the UK (in 2000 3,580 people were killed, this reduced to 3,336 by 2005 and to 1,905 by 2010). Many other countries with good road safety records have also experienced a slow-down in the rate of casualty reduction since 2010.</p><p> </p><p>In June the Government announced its intention to deliver a more strategic approach to preventing deaths and serious injuries on our roads. The Department for Transport has a two-year action plan to address four priority user groups: young people, rural road users, motorcyclists and older and more vulnerable users, according to a refreshed road safety strategy. The refreshed statement will be informed by early lessons from the new road collision investigation pilot - a £480,000 partnership between police forces and the RAC Foundation to trial an innovative approach to road collision investigation, carrying out more in-depth, qualitative analysis of the underlying causes of road safety incidents in order to get a better understanding of what is really causing collisions on UK roads.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 11/09/2018 14:15:49 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text <p>There is no evidence to suggest that there is a link between the removal of paper tax discs and levels of registration plate cloning.</p><p> </p><p>There are robust measures in place to protect the integrity of the number plate system which have never relied on the availability of paper tax discs. Since 2003, number plate suppliers in England and Wales have been required to register with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency’s (DVLA) Register of Number Plate Suppliers. This requirement was extended to Scotland and Northern Ireland in 2008.</p><p> </p><p>This regime was introduced to protect the integrity of number plates by ensuring that suppliers check a customer’s identity to ensure their entitlement to the registration number before selling them a replacement number plate. A team of DVLA enforcement officers conduct regular compliance visits to suppliers and work closely with the police and trading standards officials to share intelligence and support investigations and prosecutions.</p><p> </p><p>DVLA will investigate where customers believe that their vehicle registration number is being used fraudulently.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 11/09/2018 14:23:12 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
