HC Deb 09 July 1962 vol 662 c95W
2. Mr. Boyden

asked the Minister of Aviation what was the estimated financial loss caused by accidents arising from travel by air within the United Kingdom during 1961.

Mr. Woodhouse

I regret that it is impracticable to make any reliable estimate of this loss.

3. Mr. Boyden

asked the Minister of Aviation how many people were injured and admitted to hospital as a result of air accidents within the United Kingdom during 1961.

Mr. Woodhouse

In reported accidents to aircraft and gliders within the United Kingdom during 1961, 15 persons were seriously injured and 16 persons suffered minor injury. All seriously injured cases were given medical treatment or were treated in hospital, but our records do not show how many cases needed hospital treatment as distinct from ordinary medical treatment.
