§ 64. Sir B. Jannerasked the Minister of Transport whether, when a death or deaths occur following a road accident, he will publish the full reasons for such an accident with a view to helping motorists to avoid similar occurrences.
§ Mr. MarplesAll fatal road accidents are already investigated and reported on by the police, but any accident may result from a combination of several factors. It would be impossible to establish and publish the full reasons for each of the more than 6,000 fatal accidents occurring each year. Advice and propaganda to road users, including the Highway Code, are based on information about the circumstances of accidents.
§ 70. Mr. Ledgerasked the Minister of Transport how many road accident casualties there were in 1962; how many occurred on roads having a speed limit; and how many occurred on unrestricted roads.
§ Mr. Marples341,696, of which 251,576 occurred on roads with a speed limit and 90,120 on other roads.
