(3) what information he has relating to the total sums being allocated to road safety projects for 1990–91; and if he will list the projects.

Mr. Atkins

Road safety, including that of pedestrians and cyclists, is a key consideration in the road engineering and traffic management projects undertaken by my Department and the local authorities throughout Britain.

Many other agencies, including the police, education authorities, RoSPA and road user organisations also contribute significantly to road safety projects and initiatives. Associated with this work, a wide ranging programme of research and publicity will continue in 1990–91.

Because of the widespread nature of all these activities it is not possible to provide comprehensive information in the form requested.
