Text

I thank the Minister for her response. I commend her for bringing forward that important development, which was agreed by the Assembly in 2016. Does she agree that, given the disproportionately high number of young people involved in road traffic collisions and fatalities, it is important that we do everything in our power to prepare them to drive?
