HC Deb 15 February 2001 vol 363 cc218-9W
Mr. Evans

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions how many(a) fatalities and (b) injuries have been caused by road accidents in the United Kingdom as a result of drivers being under the influence of illegal substances, broken down by each illegal substance used. [150454]

Mr. Hill

There are no reliable statistics available that show the number of fatalities and injuries caused by road accidents as a result of drivers being under the influence of illegal substances. However, we will shortly publish the findings of a 3-year survey into the incidence of drugs in road accident fatalities, which will provide data on this subject.
