HC Deb 18 February 1980 vol 979 cc77-8W
Mr. George Robertson

asked the Minister of Transport (1) if he will publish, for the last year available, the number of casualties to children under the age of 15 years, travelling in motor cars and taxis, distinguishing between fatalities, serious injuries and slight injuries;

(2) if he will publish, for the latest year available, the number of children under the age of 15 years respectively killed and injured, while travelling in the front seats of motor cars.

Mr. Fowler

The information is as follows:

district council in December 1977, when it was explained that the question was one for consideration by Salop county council, which was then the highway authority. However, the road is now a trunk road and I will, therefore, have the possibility of a pedestrian crossing investigated.
