HC Deb 15 June 1932 vol 267 cc407-8W
Captain BALFOUR

asked the Home Secretary the number of persons killed on the roads in Great Britain between 1st January, 1919, and 1st June, 1932, and the number of persons injured on the roads during the same period?

Sir H. SAMUEL

I can give the number of persons known to the police to have been killed and injured for the years 1926 to 1931, but not before 1926, because the information collected before that year related to the number of accidents resulting in death or personal injury and not to the number of persons killed or injured. Figures for 1932 are not available.

— Killed. Injured. Total.
1926 … 4,886 133,888 138,774
1927 … 5,329 148,575 153,904
1928 … 6,138 164,838 170,976
1929 … 6,696 170,917 177,613
1930 … 7,305 177,895 185,200
1931 … 6,691 202,119 208,810
