§ Mr. Wigginasked the Secretary of State for Transport what number of motor cyclists' lives he estimates were saved in the year by their crash helmets.
§ Mr. HoramWe estimate that a saving of nearly 120 fatal and 80 serious casualties per year can be attributed to the introduction of a compulsory wearing of crash helmets. This estimate is necessarily approximate; it is based on a comparison of casualty rates for July to October 1973 with those for the same period of 1972.
