§ 46. Mr. Dayasked the Home Secretary the figures of the fatal and non-fatal road accidents which have occurred in the Metropolitan police area for the 12 months ended to the last convenient date; and the number which occurred during the corresponding calendar period prior to the abolition of the speed limit?
§ Sir J. SimonAs the answer is in tabular form, I propose, with the hon. Member's permission, to circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
§ Mr. DayIs it a fact that the figures show that the accidents were very much less than before the speed limit was imposed?
§ Sir J. SimonPerhaps the hon. Member had better look at the figures.
§ Lieut.-Colonel MooreWill the right hon. Gentleman separate those accidents caused by Rolls Royce cars?
§ Following are the figures:
