Liberal Democrat — Newbury

Speaking in the House of Commons on 25 March 2026

Debate

Road Safety of Horses and Riders

Contribution

Having tabled an early-day motion, presented a Bill and hosted a Westminster Hall debate on equine road safety, I am now pleased to be able to submit this petition on horse and rider road safety. The petition states: The petition of residents of the United Kingdom, Declares that horses and riders face significant risks on UK roads due to inadequate enforcement of passing distances and limited driver education. The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to introduce legislation to make the minimum passing speeds and distances for horses in the Highway Code a legal requirement, to require equestrian safety to feature in all driving theory tests, and to introduce standards for the teaching of equestrian safety in driver education. And the petitioners remain, etc. [P003174]
