HC Deb 20 July 1977 vol 935 c568W
54. Mr. Burden

asked the Secretary of State for Transport how many accidents to riders of two—wheeled motorised vehicles occurred in the year ended 30th April 1977; and how this compares with the previous year.

Mr. Horam

I regret the information is not readily available in the precise form requested, but the following is available:
