90. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish the latest Scottish figures showing the changes in the number of fatal accidents and serious injuries consequent on the introduction of breathalyser tests.

Mr. Ross

Fatal and serious casualties in Scotland during the last three months of 1967 were, respectively, about 13 per cent. and 1.5 per cent. less than in the last three months of 1966. The figures for the hours of darkness show reductions of 11 per cent. and 15 per cent. respectively.
