§ Lord Brougham and Vauxasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they have made a new agreement with RoSPA for their road safety work in England.
§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Transport (Lord Brabazon of Tara)I pay tribute to the work RoSPA has achieved in the past and to the challenge it has set for the future. 621WA A new agreement has just been signed. It follows extensive discussion with RoSPA, and reflects RoSPA's new marketing-led, business orientated approach to road safety. The views of the local authority associations have been taken into account. RoSPA has set itself ambitious but achieveable targets for streamlining and improving cost-effectiveness. Grant for England will be for £530,000 in 1987–88 but will reduce as RoSPA achieves its long-term plans. Additional grant will continue to be available for specific activities which offer good value for money.
