answer text <p>Any death on our roads is one too many. We want our roads to be as safe as possible. That is why the Secretary of State asked the Department to carry out an evidence stocktake to gather the facts about the safety of smart motorways and make recommendations. The Department will present the findings of the stocktake shortly.</p><p> </p><p>While I would not want to pre-judge the results of that work, what I can say is that we will continue to prioritise improving safety – making conditions safer for everyone on our roads. I will write to you as soon as the stocktake is completed to answer your specific question.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department for Transport has laid 58 statutory instruments before Parliament this calendar year. Of these four, or about 6.9%, corrected errors in a previous instrument (including one that supersedes an instrument laid in draft).</p><p> </p><p>In addition one instrument was laid that replaced an instrument that had been previously laid but which did not correspond precisely with the instrument as made.</p><p> </p><p>Correcting instruments are something that all legal teams try to avoid. The Department for Transport devotes significant resources to checking draft statutory instruments and to the continuing education of drafters, both informally, for example by using more experienced drafters to mentor less experienced drafters, and through more formal training at departmental level and under the aegis of the Government Legal Service. The Department is also represented on a cross-Whitehall group of drafting specialists which exists to act as a point of contact and facilitate the sharing of best practice and it is participating in a review of statutory instrument drafting arrangements in an enlarged shared legal service led by the Treasury Solicitor’s Department.</p>
