Today (16 December 2014) Rehman asked the Government to respond to his Private Members Bills calling for tougher sanctions for repeat traffic offences.
During Justice Questions in Parliament, Rehman asked the Justice Minister, Mike Penning MP, if his Bills are being considered under the Government’s review of driving offences and penalties and when the findings of the review will be announced.
The Minister responded by saying:
"I pay tribute to my hon. Friend for the work that he has done in that area. As a former Transport Minister, I have looked at this issue for many years. I will continue to look at the review and we will come forward with proposals. We are determined that whatever proposals come forward will be fit for purpose. His work will be very helpful."
