HC Deb 02 April 1930 vol 237 c1275
66. Dr. SALTER

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department the number of persons killed on the highways of this country during 1929 by mechanically-propelled vehicles?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Short)

The figures asked for are, for England and Wales, 5,369, and for Great Britain 6,016.

Colonel HOWARD-BURY

Is it not the case that the greater number of these are killed by vehicles going at less than 20 miles an hour?

Mr. SHORT

I should want notice of that question.
