HC Deb 12 March 1940 vol 358 cc1014-5W
Sir H. Morris-Jones

asked the Home Secretary the number of deaths from accidents owing to the black-out, apart from those caused by various forms of transport, as ascertained from inquests during the first six months of war?

Sir J. Anderson

The information asked for is not available and to attempt to discover which of the accidents referred to can be ascribed to the black-out as a primary cause would be laborious and difficult. To most such accidents there are several contributory causes.
