HC Deb 07 July 1983 vol 45 c164W
Mr. Fallon

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will estimate the number of (a) deaths and (b) serious injuries to people working under cars in each of the last 10 years.

Mrs. Chalker

Only in the case of industrial accidents, investigated by the Health and Safety Executive, are such accidents separately identified in statistics. There were nine industrial deaths due to vehicles—not necessarily cars—falling from jacks, ramps or hoists between 1978 and 1980.
