HC Deb 08 January 2002 vol 377 c604W
Vernon Coaker

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions when he plans to consult on measures to improve the safety of novice drivers. [25254]

Mr. Jamieson

As stated in the Government's Road Safety Strategy "Tomorrow's Roads—Safer for Everyone", we want to ensure that new drivers have a broader and more extensive experience of driving conditions before they take the practical driving test. We therefore plan to consult soon on options for improving the safety of novice drivers.
