HC Deb 22 January 1969 vol 776 cc129-30W
Mr. Dudley Smith

asked the Minister of Transport if he will state the number of people killed and seriously injured for the years 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, and 1968 in accidents on the M1 motorway.

Mr. Bob Brown

Annual casualty figures for the complete length of the motorway would not be comparable as extensions totalling more than 100 miles were completed during the period.

Following, therefore, are the figures for the original 73 miles; comparable

figures for 1968 have not yet been compiled.

1964 1965 1966 1967
Killed … 42 38 31 31
Seriously Injured … 261 232 264 263
Total … 303 270 295 294
