HC Deb 20 April 1983 vol 41 cc127-8W
Mr. Dormand

asked the Secretary of State for Transport how many cyclists were killed and seriously injured, respectively, in each of the last 10 years up to and including 1982.

Mrs. Chalker

Information on pedal cyclists reported killed or seriously injured is provided in table 5 of "Road accidents Great Britain, 1981", a copy of which is in the Library. Provisional figures for 1982 are 290 killed and 5,700 seriously injured. There is some degree of underreporting of non-fatal cycle accidents.
