Margaret Ferrier – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Margaret Ferrier on 2016-03-11.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will bring forward legislative proposals to lower the blood alcohol limit for drivers from 80mg to 50mg of alcohol per 100ml.

Andrew Jones

The Government has no plans to lower the drink drive limit. We believe that rigorous enforcement and serious penalties for drink drivers are a more effective deterrent than changing the drink driving limit.
