HC Deb 27 January 1971 vol 810 c116W
46. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what study he has made of road accidents involving driving licence holders of 19 years of age and under; and if he will make a statement on the incidence of drug addiction involved.

Mr. John Peyton

The Road Research Laboratory has made studies of the accident rate of young drivers under 20 and is at present studying the accident record of a group of newly qualified drivers under 25. Separate investigations, however, indicate that few accidents are attributable to the use of drugs.
