HC Deb 15 March 1960 vol 619 cc88-9W
Mr. Iorwerth Thomas

asked the Minister of Transport if he will publish figures showing the number of accidents in which the off-side of cars and other vehicles were involved.

Mr. Marples

Negligent opening of doors of vehicles was reported in 424 fatal and serious accidents in 1959. Corresponding information is being given in monthly tables issued in 1960. The available figures do not distinguish between off-side, near-side and back doors.
