HC Deb 19 July 1984 vol 64 c272W
Mr. Maxwell-Hyslop

asked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will give, for each of the last five years, the comparative accident records of (a) automatic railway/ road level crossings and (b) manned railway/road level crossings.

The accident rates quoted are per 100 crossings averaged over a 10-year period and are for British Rail only.
