The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the impact of speeding in Surrey on residents.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The Department for Transport has not made a specific assessment of the impact of speeding in Surrey on residents. Responsibility for assessing local road safety issues, including the impact of speeding, sits primarily with local authorities and police forces, who are best placed to understand local conditions, concerns and collision data.
