HC Deb 19 November 1942 vol 385 c538W
Sir A. Maitland

asked 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-Baker

I 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.
