Road Deaths and Serious Injuries (Hansard, 31 January 1994)

HC Deb 31 January 1994 vol 236 c513W 513W

§ Mr. Peter Bottomley
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he last published and next intends to publish a detailed report on the achievements towards the target of reducing the road deaths and serious injuries by a third by the year 2000; and whether he will reconsider the setting of the same targets for slight injuries.

§ Mr. Key
The road safety report 1990–91 was published in November 1991 and we intend to issue a new report towards the end of this year. The casualty statistics for the third quarter of 1993, published on 13 January, included a table showing the progress made towards achieving the road safety target. The basis for the target is widely understood and I would therefore be reluctant to change it.
