HC Deb 30 November 1998 vol 321 c52W
Mr. Baker

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will introduce targets for reductions in casualties among(a) cyclists and (b) pedestrians expressed in terms of casualties per mile travelled. [60932]

Ms Glenda Jackson

On 15 October 1997 the Government announced that they will be setting new road safety targets for Great Britain for the year 2010. There will be one target figure for the reduction in road accident deaths and serious injuries, and another for slight injuries. We are still considering the details of the target.
