§ 63. Dame Irene Wardasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what proportion of accidents on roads in built-up areas are attributable to inferior street lighting; and what representations he has received from insurance companies on this matter.
§ Mr. WatkinsonThe road accident statistics do not provide this information. I am not aware of any representations from insurance companies on this matter.
§ Dame Irene WardIn view of all the discussions now taking place on road accidents, and the fact that insurance 376 companies have a great deal of information upon them, is it not "crackers" that my right hon. Friend has not made inquiries from the insurance companies, who, I am sure, have views on inferior street lighting?
§ Mr. WatkinsonI am sorry, but owing to the "crackers" in my hon. Friend's voice, I could not hear her supplementary question.
