§ Sir A. Maitlandasked the Parliamentary Secretary of the Ministry of War Transport whether he can give a short statement of the major causes of road accidents during the last year; and whether statistics are available of deaths caused by head-on collisions, dangerous or negligent driving, or any special reason which has contributed to the heavy casualties still experienced in road transport?
§ Mr. Noel-BakerI regret that I have no statistics which show the causes of road accidents during the past year. I am, however, arranging to be furnished with more details of the road accidents which occur during the forthcoming winter months.
