Minister, can I call for a statement from the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Infrastructure on Road Safety Week, which is coming up in November? There’s been some concern that many motorists across Wales, and, indeed, other parts of the UK, are not having their eyes tested frequently enough and that this is leading to an increase in the risk of motor traffic accidents. I’d like to hear from the Cabinet Secretary what he’s going to do about that and whether there might be an opportunity to use the signs—the messaging signs—across the A55 in north Wales and the M4 and other trunk roads across Wales to actually encourage people to have their eyesight tested during that week in order to take advantage of some of the free tests that are available.
