HC Deb 07 February 1949 vol 461 cc12-3W
81. Mr. Janner

asked the Minister of Transport if he will give the number of bus accidents in the London area in each of the years 1938 to 1948, respectively.

Mr. Barnes

The number of accidents in the Metropolitan Police District involving death or personal injury, in which buses or coaches were involved in the years 1944 to 1948 were:

1944 2,093
1945 2,538
1946 2,636
1947 2,616
1948 2,702

I regret that figures for earlier years are not available, and I have no statistics of accidents which did not cause death or personal injury. The figures include accidents in which persons were injured in getting on or off the vehicles.
