HC Deb 18 November 1968 vol 773 cc212-3W
84. Mr. Ian Lloyd

asked the Minister of Transport what proportion of the casualties from road accidents, summarised in Table I of Road Accidents 1967, occurred at defined and marked accident black spots.

Mr. Marsh

This information is not available nationally, and to assemble it from local records would be unduly expensive.

Mr Ian Lloyd

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will arrange for the publication, Road Accidents, to include a table and map showing regularly the incidence of accidents at accident black spots.

Mr. Marsh

Because chance variations in the incidence of accidents at individual sites can bulk so large, it would not be meaningful to present statistics of this sort.
