§ Mr. Spencerasked the Secretary of State for Transport how many people were killed or injured over the last 12 months in accidents involving electric milk floats.
§ Mr. Peter BottomleyThe information requested is not available. Although the police collect information about every road accident in which someone is injured, they do not record "electric milk floats" as a separate vehicle type. Milk floats are classed with "light goods vehicles". This situation is likely to remain for the time being, as a balance has to be struck between the additional police resources required and the usefulness, for road safety policy, of the additional data collected.
