HC Deb 21 January 1964 vol 687 c118W
Sir Richard Glyn

asked the Minister of Transport how many drivers of cars or riders of motor bicycles involved in fatal or serious accidents in the 12 months to the latest convenient date were reported to be going too fast, to be learners, to be affected by alcohol, or to be ill, fatigued, or physically affected; and what is the percentage of drivers of each category involved in the total number of accidents.

Mr. Marples

The following are the figures for the twelve months ended 31st October, 1963. The figures for drinking are restricted to cases where an arrest appeared justified; they are known seriously to understate the number of cases in which drink is a contributory factor.
