HC Deb 05 February 1958 vol 581 cc184-5W
93. Mr. Hastings

asked the Minister of Health, as representing the Lord President of the Council, when the joint researches on the relationship between drink and road accidents which have been carried out since 1952 under the auspices of the Medical Research Council and the Road Research Board, and which have been reported at intervals unofficially in the Press, will be ready for consideration; and whether an official report of them will be published.

Mr. Walker-Smith

It is hoped that a report on the experimental work on the effect of alcohol upon the skill of drivers of motor vehicles will very shortly be available to the Joint Committee appointed by the Medical Research Council and the Road Research Board under whose auspices the work has been carried out. The results of the research will in due course be published.
