(6) what was the total number of road accidents in Derbyshire in 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982 and to the nearest available date in 1983.

Mrs. Chalker

The figures up to 1981 are available in table 6 of "Road Accidents Great Britain 1981" and table 5 of "Road Accident Statistics for English Regions", both of which are in the Library. Detailed 1982 data will be in the editions to be published later this year. The Department has no figures on non-injury accidents. Provisional figures for the first quarter of 1983 suggest that about 60 pedal cyclists were killed and 1,100 seriously injured.
