(2) on how many occasions in that part of the Borough of Wandsworth bounded by the following streets, Wandsworth Bridge, York Road, Usk Road, St. John's Hill, Marcilly Road, Trinity Road, Tooting Bec, Balham High 167W Road, Balham Hill, Clapham Common, South Side, Long Road, The Pavement, Old Town, Clapham, North Street, Silverthorne Road, Queen's Road, Queenstown Road, and Chelsea Bridge, the Metropolitan Police have, during the year prior to 30th April, 1960, recorded road accidents where either the fire service or the ambulance service, or both, have attended; what were the locations of such accidents; what were the hours at which information of such accidents was received; and what were the recorded hours of arrival of each of the above services.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerI regret that the information requested is not readily available. It could be obtained only by the detailed examination of hundreds of reports, and I do not think I would be justified in requiring this large task to be undertaken.
