HC Deb 23 April 1975 vol 890 cc315-6W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how many road accidents were caused by or attributed to punctures or burst tyres during each of the last five years for which records are available.

Mr. Mulley

This information is not available in the form requested, but it is estimated that about l–1½ per cent. of all injury accidents result from tyre deflations or failures.
