The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans he has to improve road safety for young drivers in South Basildon and East Thurrock constituency.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

We absolutely recognise that young people are disproportionately victims of tragic incidents on our roads and continue to tackle this through our THINK! campaign.

We are considering measures to address this problem and protect young drivers, as part of our upcoming strategy for road safety - the first in over a decade.
