I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate. Most of my remarks will relate specifically to road safety. Before I begin, I wish to express my objection to the Minister's comments before the quorum was called. For ordinary backbenchers in my party, which has more than 40 Members, it can be difficult to get speaking time. In order not to waste time, I am prepared to share with a colleague rather than rambling on for the whole 20 minutes available in this slot.
