HC Deb 24 January 1980 vol 977 cc355-6W
Mr. Snape

asked the Minister of Transport whether the Transport and Road Research Laboratory is now in a position to report on its analysis of fatal accidents Services Commission that the number of workers involved in redundancies affecting 10 or more and notified as due to occur in each month of 1979 was as follows:

involving heavy goods vehicles in 1976, and on its analysis of 1,700 accidents involving commercial vehicles on motorways in 1977.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

In both studies data are now being analysed and evaluated. Reports will be published as soon as possible after this has been completed. A paper on preliminary findings of the study involving heavy goods vehicles is being prepared for the Armitage inquiry and will be available to the inquiry and the public shortly. Considerably more analysis and evaluation will be needed before the results can be presented in final form.
