A BRADFORD MP has expressed her disappointment with the government’s response to her call for tougher sentences for those who cause death by dangerous driving.

Last year the government announced it intended to introduce tougher sentences, however, nine months later there is no legislation.

Judith Cummins, MP for Bradford South, was one of three MPs that co-sponsored the letter to the Justice Secretary last month to ask when the government would take the action.

She said: "It was hoped that a letter signed by more than 70 MPs from various parties might prompt a different and more positive response, but sadly not.

"The government are continuing to use lack of parliamentary time as an excuse, but a few days ago the government was proposing starting the summer recess early and cancelling this week’s business.
