HC Deb 11 March 1941 vol 369 c1170W
Lieut.-Colonel Windsor-Clive

asked the Minister of Transport whether he has any information showing whether smoking by a driver of a motor-vehicle at the time of an accident has been a contributory cause of such accident; and whether he will obtain this information in the case of accidents in future?

Lieut.-Colonel Moore-Brabazon

The investigations already made into causes of accidents have not furnished any evidence that smoking is a contributory cause. I cannot undertake a further special investigation for this purpose at the present time.
