HC Deb 13 February 2002 vol 380 c377W
Peter Bottomley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what the statistics for death for each mode of transport for(a) the EU and (b) this country measured by (i) distance covered and (ii) time spent travelling (A) now, (B) five years ago and (C) 10 years ago. [32073]

Mr. Jamieson

The information is not readily available in the form requested. Some information is available on fatality rates per passenger kilometre. Figures for GB are published in the 'Transport Statistics Great Britain' series. Figures for the EU are published in the 'EU Energy and Transport Figures, Statistical Pocketbook' series. However different definitions and methodologies may mean that they are not directly comparable.
