Answered by Lilian Greenwood

Improving road safety is one of my Department’s highest priorities. Injuries and fatalities from road collisions caused by driving are unacceptable, and this Government will work hard to prevent these tragedies for all road users.

The total spend on the THINK! road safety campaign for the years requested is as follows:

  • 2023–24 outturn: £5,180,103.98

  • 2024–25 outturn: £4,336,057

  • 2025–26 forecast: £3,880,000

  • 2026–27 forecast: £5,529,000
