§ Mr. Ernie Rossasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is his estimate of the number of car accidents that have taken place in Dundee in the past year in which serious injury could have been avoided if seat belts had been worn.
§ Mr. RifkindIt is not feasible to make such an estimate on a local basis. But it has been estimated that seat belt wearing could, on a national basis, reduce694W serious injuries by between 3,000 and 10,000 a year, depending on the wearing rate.
