Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment she has made of the adequacy of the capacity of local collision investigation teams in Surrey Heath constituency.

The police are the lead agency for collision investigation and have the primary duty to investigate and establish the circumstances that have led to road deaths and life changing injuries.

The policing of fatal and serious injury road collisions and how available resources are deployed in Surrey is the responsibility of Surrey Police’s Chief Constable and Police and Crime Commissioner, taking into account the specific local problems and demands with which they are faced.
