§ Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many pedestrians were killed and injured by motor cars on Scottish roads, indicating the relevant counties, during each of the last 12 months; and what steps he has taken and plans to take to reduce the number of these casualties.
§ Mr. RossEngineering, enforcement, education and research all play their part in the action taken by the Government and the local authorities to reduce the toll of pedestrian accidents. I hope also that the National Road Safety Advisory Council, to the setting up of which my right hon. Friend, the Minister of Transport referred on 23rd December, will be able to assist us in these matters.
The following are the figures by police areas:
