HC Deb 10 November 1936 vol 317 c704W
Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Minister of Transport whether he can give comparative statistics showing in proportion to the population the number of road accidents, fatal and non-fatal, in this and other similar countries?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

A committee of the League of Nations is, it is understood, endeavouring to secure standardisation in the recording of road accidents, in which case comparable statistics of such accidents may become available. Until then the divergencies of practice in the compilation of figures make reliable comparison impossible.
