HC Deb 22 June 1995 vol 262 c391W
4. Mr. Hardy

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action he is taking to amend the criminal law to ensure that where reckless and dangerous driving results in death or injury the penalties will be appropriate.

Mr. Maclean

Parliament has increased the maximum penalty for causing death by dangerous driving to 10 years. But it is entirely up to the courts and judges to impose the right sentence in each case.
