HC Deb 19 June 1997 vol 296 c280W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what literature for bereaved relatives and friends of those killed on the roads his Department provides; and what plans he has to fund additional publications. [3690]

Ms Glenda Jackson

I understand that booklets are produced by several police forces and by the voluntary organisations with whom the police work closely. Since staff from my Department do not have regular contact with bereaved relatives of those killed on the roads, nor expertise in counselling, it would not seem helpful for the Department to provide such literature.
