Mr. Kidney

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the incidence of the inclusion of road safety in local crime and disorder strategies. [148419]

Mr. Charles Clarke

A Review of Audits and Strategies produced by Crime and Disorder Partnerships in 1999 was published by Home Office, Research, Development and Statistics in November 2000 under reference Police Research Briefing Note 8/00. The review found that of the 363 strategies examined, 37 per cent. (134) of partnerships had specified road safety/dangerous driving as a priority for action. Of those 134 strategies, 37 per cent. (50) contained a specific target.
