The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to help tackle road traffic accidents in rural areas.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The safety of our roads is an absolute priority for this Government and will support our health mission. Since the general election, the Department has begun work on a new Road Safety Strategy, the first in over a decade. We will set out next steps on this in due course.
