HC Deb 29 November 1972 vol 847 c143W
Mr. William Price

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) how many people have been seriously injured on the A45 during the past five years;

(2) how many people have been killed on the A45 during the past five years.

Mr. Speed

Following are the figures from 1969:

Killed Seriously Injured
1969 44 350
1970 27 319
1971 31 307
1972* 25 249
* January to October only.

The corresponding figures for 1968 are not readily available.

Mr. William Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what are the proposed starting and completion dates of the construction of the flyover intended to serve the Willenhall roundabout on the A45 at Coventry.

Mr. Speed

This scheme might form part of an eastern by-pass of the city of Coventry which is still the subject of study at feasibility stage. It would therefore be premature to estimate any timing for construction.
