HC Deb 05 August 1971 vol 822 cc364-5W
Mr. McManus

asked the Minister of State for Defence how many traffic accidents the Army has been involved in in the past 12 months; and how many deaths have resulted from these accidents.

Mr. G. Johnson Smith

7,055 in the United Kingdom, including 1,758 in Northern Ireland. Information on fatal accidents in the United Kingdom as a whole is not readily available and would involve a disproportionate amount of research to produce. In Northern Ireland there were 10 fatal accidents involving 12 deaths.
