§ 43. Mr. KELLAWAYasked how many street traffic fatalities have occurred in the Metropolitan Police district and the City of London since the beginning of November this year; and how many occurred during the corresponding period of last year?
§ Mr. McKENNAI regret that I cannot give the information required as the figures are not yet available.
§ 44. Mr. KELLAWAYasked how many street traffic fatalities occurred in the Metropolitan Police district and the City of London during the months of September and October of this year; and how many occurred during the corresponding months of last year?
§ Mr. McKENNAThere were 101 fatalities in September and October last year, and 163 in the corresponding months this year.
§ Mr. KELLAWAYMay I ask my right hon. Friend if these are the figures which he depended upon for his statement that there had been no increase in fatalities recently?
§ Mr. McKENNAI was then referring to a question which was addressed to me earlier, which included all accidents, but I was very doubtful about it all through. I had understood that he was referring to the Metropolis. I should have refrained from answering as I had not got the figures then before me. As regards all accidents, my answer was right.
