The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions she has had with (a) West Midlands Police and (b) Birmingham City Council on the forthcoming Road Safety Strategy.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The Government treats road safety seriously and is committed to reducing the numbers of those killed and injured on our roads.

My Department regularly engages with the police and local authorities. With regards to the West Midlands, my officials have held conversations with Transport for the West Midlands and the West Midlands Road Safety Commissioner.

More details on the Road Safety Strategy will be set out in due course.
