§ 30. Mr. MillerTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make a statement on his strategy to reduce the number of deaths on the road. [85931]
§ Mr. JamiesonThe Government are fully committed to meeting or beating its casualty reduction targets for 2010 as set out in "Tomorrow's roads—safer for everyone". Total deaths and serious injuries in 2001 were 15 per cent. down from the baseline for the 40 per cent. target reduction. Child deaths and serious injuries in 2001 were 27 per cent. down from their baseline—and thus over halfway towards their 50 per cent. target reduction.
