HC Deb 08 March 1976 vol 907 cc64-5W
Mr. Rifkind

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many fatal accidents are known to have occurred in Scotland during each of the last five years; and how many accidents involving injury or death are known to have occurred in Scotland during each of the last five years.

Mr. William Ross

I regret that information about numbers of accidents, whether fatal or involving injury alone, is not readily available. Deaths from accidents of all kinds in Scotland in each of the last five years are shown in the following table:

Deaths from accidents, Scotland 1971–1975
1971 2,281
1972 2,321
1973 2,295
1974 2,450
1975 2,290*
