Road Safety Bill [HL]

I must intervene on that last point because the accident to which the noble Baroness referred was at 2 am in the morning on the Cowley Road. The police car was responding to an armed robbery. The police have strict rules or performance targets about responding to 999 calls. They are one of the key performance indicators—much derided by some people—that the Government set police forces. Responding to 999 calls and then attending the site quickly is one of the main things impressed on them. I will not take part in the whole debate about police forces, but be careful that we are not conflating one thing with another.
