To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will offer advice to school governors on the development of road safety policies in schools.

As part of our child road safety initiative which highlights road safety education in schools as a key area for action, I am anxious to encourage school governors to be involved in the development of school road safety policies. In support of this, my Department has just produced a road safety information leaflet for governors. The leaflet is widely available from local authority road safety officers in England and Wales and from my Department.
