which figures are available in Stoke-on-Trent North; and if he will make a statement on progress towards meeting his 2010 target for
reducing such casualties. [127071]
Mr. Hill: I have been asked to reply.
Data for Stoke-on-Trent North are not available. The number of child road casualties for Stoke-on-Trent Unitary Authority are given
in the table:

The new road safety strategy "Tomorrow's roads-- safer for everyone", published in March, sets out a range of measures to meet the
target of halving the number of children killed or seriously injured in road accidents by 2010, compared with the average for
1994-98. Many of these measures are now being taken forward but it is too soon to quantify any casualty savings.

Mr. Tony Clarke: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what progress he has made in
developing the Government's road safety strategy; and if he will make a statement. [112908]
Mr. Hill: Today, we have published our road safety strategy, "Tomorrow's roads--safer for everyone". This sets stretching new
targets to reduce the number of casualties on our roads, particularly child deaths and injuries. By 2010 we want to see a 40 per
cent. overall reduction in the number of people killed or seriously injured and a 50 per cent. reduction in the number of children
killed or seriously injured, compared with the average for 1994-98. We also want to see a 10 per cent. reduction in the rate of
slight injuries, measured per 100 million vehicle kilometres.
Measures to achieve these objectives include: expecting local authorities to use their powers to introduce self-enforcing 20 mph
zones around schools and in residential areas; a robust package of measures to further reduce drink driving; strengthening
enforcement of drug driving, including a commitment to legislate to give police the powers to test for drugs at the roadside;
consulting the public on a package of measures designed to encourage young and new drivers to take a more structured approach to
learning to drive; continuing to monitor the driving test to ensure it is sufficiently stretching and appropriate for modern driving
conditions; developing information schemes and advice for older drivers and publicity on the dangers of driving while using a mobile
phone; expecting a 30 mph speed limit to be the norm for villages; increasing resources for Local Transport Plans, which will
include local road safety plans and targets, to £1 billion next year; setting up a Road Safety Advisory Panel which will include
representatives of the main stakeholders and will help us to review our targets and strategy; and raising the standard of road
safety education, particularly promoting child pedestrian training in deprived areas, where we know children are at greater risk.
Enforcement of road traffic law will have a major part to play in improving road safety. The Home Office is conducting a major
review of all road traffic penalties, including those for speeding and careless driving, which will report in due course.
The Government's detailed review of speed policy has also been published today. "Tomorrow's roads--safer for everyone" reflects the
findings of this review. It does not recommend blanket changes to existing speed limits, but acknowledges that there is a place for
lower limits in specific areas where there is an accident problem.
Copies of the documents published today--the Government's detailed review of speed policy; the Government's response to the ETR
Select Committee's report, "Young and Newly Qualified Drivers: Standards and Training"; the Government's response to the
Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety's report, "Road Traffic Law and Enforcement; the Highways Agency's safety plan,
"Making the network safer--Highways Agency strategic plan for safety" and a report by the Transport Research Laboratory, "The
numerical context for setting national casualty reduction targets"--have all been placed in the Library.
