question text	Her Majesty's Government which agencies failed to report statistics on road casualties to the Department for Transport in time for the scheduled publication of Reported Road Casualties for October 2016 to March 2017; and what reasons were given by those agencies for their failure to report on time.
tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
uin	HL270
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2017 answer text <p>The Department for Transport has postponed publication of its annual 2016 road casualty data until 28 September as a result of a delay in receiving final validated data from Transport for London (TfL), in particular the data which TfL receives and processes for the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS). The MPS data makes up around 15% of the road casualty dataset for Great Britain and therefore a significant component of the national total.</p><p> </p><p>The MPS implemented a new reporting system at the end of 2016, the Case Overview and Preparation Application (COPA) system. TfL has reported that, due to changes in the reporting of road casualty data by the MPS via the COPA system, it has taken longer than normal in providing TfL with the required data to ensure validation and finalisation.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 13/07/2017 13:44:25 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
