§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Minister of Transport how many persons in the London traffic area for the 12 months ended 31st December, 1948, were killed, and how many injured, while boarding or alighting from stationary tramcars at tram stops; and in how many of these 135W cases were proceedings subsequently taken against the driver of the vehicle involved in the accident.
§ Mr. BarnesIn 1948, 76 persons were injured by motor vehicles while boarding or alighting from stationary tramcars at tram stops in the London Traffic Area. In addition two persons were killed and 123 injured by falling while boarding or alighting from tramcars whether stationary or moving. I regret that the number of prosecutions taken against the drivers of the motor vehicles involved is not available.
