answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2015 answer text <p>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. We are working closely with road safety groups to consider what more can be done and we believe that every death is a tragedy and is one too many. <br></p><p>The Government has not set road safety targets for local authorities or the police, and is not considering reinstating them. We do not believe that further persuasion is needed on the importance of road safety through “Whitehall knows best” diktats. However, local authorities and the police are free to set their own targets if they find this useful.</p><br /> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 30/10/2015 12:28:55 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
