HC Deb 23 December 1964 vol 704 c278W
35. Sir H. Nicholls

asked the Minister of Transport if he will seek powers to require newspapers to print a daily or weekly total of all reported road accidents in order to pinpoint the extent of road dangers.

Mr. Swingler

No. It is for editors to decide what they print in their newspapers. In fact the Press as a whole is most co-operative in reporting road dangers and forthright in promoting road safety.
