HC Deb 19 January 1987 vol 108 cc356-7W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he intends to introduce legislation to present more severe penalties in cases where pedestrians on pedestrian crossings are put at risk by drivers of motor vehicles.

Mr. Mellor

The road traffic law review which was set up by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Transport is examining the scope and definition of road traffic offences and the penalties available. We shall give its recommendations careful consideration when it reports later in the year.
