question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment of the eCall system to be introduced in motor cars from 31 March 2018.
tabling member printed	Lord Kennedy of Southwark
uin	HL3467
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2014 answer text <p>The Government recognises that eCall has the potential to improve road safety further, but it is important that each initiative is carefully considered on its merits. After considering the results of independent research we are concerned that the benefits of making eCall mandatory in all new cars will not justify the cost of implementing it in the UK. That is why the UK does not support the EU proposed mandatory installation of eCall in new passenger cars and vans at this time. Motorists should be free to choose a third party eCall system if they wish, and calls from these systems are already supported by UK emergency call centres.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 10/12/2014 15:31:55 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer

tabling member printed	Mr Andy Slaughter
uin	217583
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2014 answer text <p>The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not centrally record the total number of people prosecuted for driving whilst disqualified or driving whilst uninsured. To obtain details of the number of defendants prosecuted for these offences, would require a manual review of individual case files to be undertaken at a disproportionate cost.</p><p>Driving motor vehicles while uninsured are specified proceedings. These are offences that are prosecuted by the police rather than the CPS in order to reduce unnecessary bureaucracy and ensure swifter justice. The CPS will only prosecute a specified offence in cases where a not guilty plea has been entered or when the defendant is charged with other associated offences such as driving with excess alcohol.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Mr Robert Buckland question first answered 10/12/2014 12:53:20 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland
