Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent progress he has made on bringing forward legislative proposals to create a specific criminal offence for people who cause death or injury by dangerous driving.

There are currently criminal offences that cover these matters. However, we keep the law under review and listen to the concerns of those affected by tragic cases of death or serious injury.

The Government is considering a Call for Evidence on motoring offences. while the potential scope and timings are being confirmed, it is expected that it will include issues around drink and drug driving, and the offence of failure to stop and report. There may also be the opportunity to highlight other areas of concern.
