The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make it her policy to publish a consultation on the adequacy of fail to stop provisions in the Road Traffic Act 1988.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

This Government takes road safety seriously. We are committed to reducing the numbers of those killed and injured on our roads.

We are considering a range of policies under the new strategy; the first for 10 years. This includes the case for changing motoring offences, such as reporting and failure to stop and report road traffic collisions.

More details will be published in due course.
