HC Deb 12 November 1965 vol 720 c11W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Minister of Transport if he will publish the findings of the urgent police investigations into the crashes on the M6 motorway in which five people died and 51 were injured on 5th November, 1965; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Tom Fraser

I can say at once that in general drivers were moving much too fast and much too close together for safety in the fog.

I am bringing all the available resources to bear in order to give additional warning on the motorways to those who will heed it. My discussions on what can best be done straightaway have reached an advanced stage and I shall make a full statement as soon as I can.
