HC Deb 12 July 1971 vol 821 c26W
Mr. Redmond

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many accidents involving injuries to pedestrians by cyclists have occurred during each of the past three years; and whether he will review the possibility of obliging cyclists to carry a third-party insurance.

Mr. Peyton

Figures for 1969 and 1970 are not readily available ; in 1968, 15 pedestrians were killed and 1,000 injured in accidents where, a pedal-cycle was the only vehicle involved. The answer to the second part of the Question is "No".
