Alex Barros-Curtis has led a Commons debate calling for stronger sentences and driving disqualifications after deaths caused by dangerous or careless driving.
The Cardiff West MP centred his case on Keely Morgan, who was 15 when she was killed at a pedestrian crossing in Caerau in May 2023. Her mother's campaign has attracted nearly 12,000 signatures.
Barros-Curtis asked the Government to examine automatic licence revocation after serious incidents, mandatory reassessment before a driver returns to the road and whether causing death by careless driving should be added to the unduly lenient sentence scheme.
He also called for a review of sentencing guidelines and of the use of suspended or concurrent sentences where a driver's conduct has caused death.
Justice Minister Jake Richards said the Sentencing Council had been asked to consider driving-disqualification periods and that transport ministers were examining evidence on graduated licensing and other road-safety reforms.
No sentencing rule changed during the debate. The outcome was a commitment to continue cross-departmental consideration, including concern that a driving ban can run at the same time as a prison sentence and therefore expire before release.
