HC Deb 18 December 1980 vol 996 c306W
Mr. Robert C. Brown

asked the Minister of Transport how many road accidents caused by frost, snow or ice took place in November and December to the lastest available date in Northumberland, the city of Newcastle upon Tyne and the county of Tyne and Wear, less Newcastle.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

Complete information about road accidents in the areas concerned since October is not yet available. It is never possible to give precise figures about the causes of accidents as causation is often a matter of doubt and controversy.
