HC Deb 06 June 1935 vol 302 c2053
14. Mr. HANNON (for Mr. ALAN TODD)

asked the Home Secretary whether he will make a statement as to the number and nature of convictions obtained against motorists in London who have contributed to wards the 1,045 accidents since 1st November, 1934, at crossing-places controlled by signal-lights or police and at uncontrolled crossing-places, respectively.

Captain CROOKSHANK

Statistics relating to prosecutions for road traffic offences do not show separately those cases where the driver of a motor vehicle was involved in an accident, and I regret therefore that the desired information is not available.

58. Mr. HANNON (for Mr. TODD)

asked the Minister of Transport how many of the 1,045 accidents at pedestrian crossing-places in London since 1st November, 1934, took place at crossings at which signal-lights were in operation or policemen regularly on duty, and how many at crossings which were uncontrolled?

The MINISTER of TRANSPORT (Mr. Hore-Belisha)

Of these accidents, 355 occurred at 1,411 crossings controlled by the police or by traffic lights, and 690 at 7,438 uncontrolled crossings.
