HC Deb 12 December 1968 vol 775 c206W
Mr. Dewar

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will state the number of children killed in accidents and the combined total of adults and children killed on Scotland's roads in the months of November 1966, November 1967 and November 1968, respectively, together with the number seriously injured, slightly injured and the total of all these categories.

Mr. Ross

I am glad to state that the provisional figures for November, 1968, show fewer deaths and other casualties than either of the two previous Novembers, as follows:—

Mr. Ross

I understand that some farmers in the North-East of Scotland have been approached for permission to drill on their lands and that some borings have been taken. On the second part of the Question I have nothing to add to the reply I gave to the hon. Member on 5th December.—[Vol. 774, c.555.]
