HC Deb 14 June 1961 vol 642 c47W
56. Mr. Hunter

asked the Minister of Transport what was the number of persons over 60 years of age killed and injured in road accidents in 1960; what was the number of children under 14 years of age who were killed and injured; and what percentage these figures are of the total number of casualties for that year.

Mr. Marples

During 1960, 12,075 persons aged 60 years and over and 12,604 children aged 14 years and under were killed and seriously injured in road accidents in Great Britain. These figures represent 13 per cent. and 14 per cent. respectively of all those killed and seriously injured in 1960.
