§ Mr. Onslowasked the Minister of Transport how many accidents there were, in each of the last three years, at road crossings controlled by school crossing patrols.
§ Mr. CarmichaelFull figures for this kind of accident are not available, but sample studies in two counties show that about 1 per cent. of the child pedestrians hurt in road accidents were crossing at points with a school crossing patrol. For every 100 crossing patrols in these areas there were between one and two child pedestrian casualties per year.
