HC Deb 26 October 1972 vol 843 c395W
33. Mr. Meacher

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many car accidents are estimated to be caused each year by a driver's sudden blackout or death due to heart disease; and in how many of these cases death is caused to a third party.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

This information is not available in the form requested. Evidence collected by the Transport and Road Research Laboratory suggests that well under ½ per cent. of accidents follow drivers being taken ill suddenly.
