HC Deb 12 March 1985 vol 75 cc129-30W
Mr. Waller

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the latest estimate of the tax revenue obtained from value added tax on hot take-away food.

Year Total No. of Road Traffic Accidents* RTA Rate† Vehicle Repair cost‡ £M Casualties
Killed Injured
1979–80 11,157 7.2 2.73 14 864
1980–81 10,475 7.4 2.945 21 850
1981–82 10,050 6.7 2.745 22 896
1982–83 10,524 6.4 3.425 20 885
1983–84 10,092 7.0 3.084 19 1,034
* Figures cover the RN/RM, Army, RAF but not the PE for which no centralised statistics were kept prior to the current financial year.
† Road Traffic Accident rate = number of accidents per 100,000 vehicle miles.
‡ Vehicle Repair Cost for Service vehicles only. It would be impossible to attribute third party or employee disability costs to individual accidents without dispoportionate effort.
