§ 62. Mr. Parkerasked the Minister of Transport how many accidents, fatal and otherwise, have taken place in the last five years at the junction of Bennetts Castle Lane and Becontree Avenue, Dagenham; and whether he will authorise the erection of traffic signals there.
§ Mr. Hay:Accident figures are available for the last four years only. During that period there have been one fatal accident and 23 involving injury. Traffic is too light to justify traffic signals. We have suggested to the highway authority an alteration of the junction which should reduce the risk of accidents.
