Brian Mathew

Liberal Democrat — Melksham and Devizes

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 January 2026

Debate

Horse and Rider Road Safety

Contribution

Does my hon. Friend agree that clear rules on the speed and distance required when passing walkers, cyclists and horses on the road are needed, and that this should be included in driver theory tests and must be at the heart of driver education? Too many walkers, cyclists and horse riders have been hurt in our constituencies, including mine, and it must come to an end.
