§ Mr. Freudasked the Secretary of State for Transport on the basis of the publicly funded product testing research data available to his Department, whether he will publish in the Official Reportdetails of motor car accident statistics analysed by model.
§ Mr. Horam:Details of the model of cars involved in road accidents have not been recorded on a nationwide basis since 1976.
For that year, the only information available is the total number of cars of each make and model in road accidents involving personal injury; since corresponding estimates of the mileage travelled by each type of car are not available, comparable accident rates cannot be obtained.
