HC Deb 05 December 1977 vol 940 c509W
33. Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if he will make a statement on the progress of his Department's research into the prevention of accidents within the home.

Mr. John Fraser

In January this year my Department set up the Home Accident Surveillance System to collect information about accidents in the home from 20 participating hospitals. A report summarising the data obtained during the first six months was published in October and a copy is available in the House of Commons Library.
