I ask the Leader to draw the attention of the Minister responsible for road safety to a report issued by Barnardos, an organisation which looks after the safety and welfare of children. The report was published in Belfast or London but I heard about it this morning. It has called for road safety to be enhanced by the introduction of more speed cameras not on motorways, but on roads where children are being injured and killed. Barnardos argues that such an action will be a good return on investment as it works. There has been a large increase in the number of deaths on our roads. The only time it dropped was immediately after the introduction of penalty points. However, it has increased dramatically again. We can do something about this situation.
