Categorised under the topics of Police and Roads.

That this House gives its full support to The Livia Award for Professionalism and Service to Justice; notes that the award is made annually to the Metropolitan Traffic Police Officer in the Roads and Transport Policing Command, judged by an independent panel, to have been most meritorious in their investigation of fatal and serious injury road crash incidents and/or has shown outstanding service to road crash victims' families; further notes that the award arose from the untimely and avoidable death of a young girl from Enfield called Livia who was killed by a proven dangerous driver on her way to ballet on 12 January 1998; congratulates all the traffic police officers nominated for The Livia Award, including the 2015 nominees, retired Police Constable Brian Gamble, Detective Sergeant John Woods, Detective Sergeant John Hartfree and Senior Collision Investigator Steve Gilbert, with particular congratulations to DS Hartfree as the award winner; believes that the dedication and commitment shown by all the nominees to families of victims is inspiring and admirable; and strongly commends the work of Livia's parents, George and Giulietta Galli-Atkinson, for their tireless campaigning on road safety education, legislation and enforcement.
