§ Sir A. Baillieasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether, in tabulating losses of life and injuries sustained by accidents on the road, he will schedule the exact causes of such accidents, both those 1989W entailed by human responsibility, and by the state of the road surfaces and the configuration of roads.
§ Mr. Noel-BakerThe assessment of the cause or causes of an accident is often a complicated question, and to tabulate accidents merely according to what may appear to be primary causes may give rise to misleading impressions. Under present conditions it would not be practicable to require the police to compile and furnish the elaborate analytical returns of street accidents necessary to provide the information suggested by my hon. Friend.
