Written Question
Roads: Rural Areas
Wednesday 8th November 2017

Asked by: Glyn Davies (Conservative - Montgomeryshire)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress has been made in increasing safety on rural roads in the last five years.

Answered by Jesse Norman - Shadow Leader of the House of Commons

The Government’s priorities for improving road safety are set out in the British Road Safety Statement. We intend to publish a progress report towards the end of this year. Funding is being made available through the £175million Safer Roads Fund to improve the safety of the most dangerous local A-roads in England. The THINK! Country roads campaign targets improving safety on rural roads. Casualties on rural roads in 2016 were 6% lower than in 2012.

Montgomeryshire, however, has a very long border …..."

"I thank the hon. Gentleman for allowing me to interject in his colourful presentation. I read an article by Lee Waters, a Labour Assembly Member who is concerned about reducing the tolls. I do not think he voted against doing so in the Assembly, but he certainly made a lot …..."

"Does the Minister accept that many, like me, will be concerned about the issue? A huge number of road schemes in Britain are in need of development, for the benefit of the relevant parts of the country and the economy. That is hugely important—it is vital. However, if we cut …..."

That this House has considered infrastructure and regulations to support electric and low-emission vehicles.

"My hon. Friend is absolutely right. We do not know exactly what the future holds. We should use the term “ultra-low emission vehicles,” rather than “electric vehicles,” because hydrogen fuel cell technology may well develop quicker. Things change incredibly quickly. It is only five years since the companies starting producing …..."
