“What recent assessment he has made of the effectiveness of his Department's support for local government.”
Answering Minister
the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government
Answer from Hansard
The Prime Minister
I thank Roman for his letter, which I took time to read last night. I want to read a short sentence from it now: “This accident wouldn’t have happened if there was a safe place to cross the road... I am concerned for other children’s safety and I don’t want another accident like mine to happen again to anyone else.” What an incredible young boy, aged just 10. I totally agree with him, and I say this to him: Roman, this is what we’re going to do—I have asked Ministers to work with all the right people to look at your school and get a safe crossing in place. The Roads Minister will be happy to meet my hon. Friend to discuss the road safety strategy.
