I tabled the new clause because I believe that as a nation we do not take the necessary steps to make our roads safer, and we do not punish those responsible robustly enough. Should it go to a vote, I believe that the support for it, acknowledged by the Government, shows that more robust measures are possible. Victims and their families deserve justice, and while the issue of sentencing for these crimes is a wider discussion, ensuring that those responsible for destroying so many lives do not drive on our roads again is an issue that we could address in the Committee today.
