Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if she will clarify the remit of the review into driving offences and penalties for drivers who cause death or serious injury to other people on the roads.

The Government is committed to making sure that sentencing for those who kill or cause serious injury on the roads is proportionate within the context of our wider sentencing framework.

It is our intention to commence a consultation before the end of the year which will look at driving offences and penalties.
