Mr. Lindsayasked the Minister of Transport how many road accidents have taken place in the last twelve months due to traffic running into the back of 134W stationary lorries; and how this compares with similar previous periods.
§ Mr. MarplesI regret that the information is not available for the period specified. During 1958 there were 1,394 accidents involving fatal or serious injuries in which parked goods vehicles were concerned, but no separate figures are available for accidents caused by motor vehicles running into the back of stationary lorries.
