HC Deb 24 March 1947 vol 435 c146W
92. Mr. Sparks

asked the Minister at Transport what effect the recent severe frosts have had upon road accidents.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

In February, 223 persons were killed and 6,925 injured in road accidents as compared with 377 killed and 11,356 injured in the previous month and 371 killed and 9,903 injured in February last year. This reduction was, no doubt, largely due to the effect of the severe weather on the volume of traffic.
