§ Mr. Dickensasked the Secretary of State for Transport if he will make it his policy to publish specific road accident figures for the Christmas and new year period.
§ Mrs. ChalkerThe Department's annual statistical report, "Road Accidents, Great Britain", covers accidents in the December period, including the holiday periods and the weeks preceding Christmas. The last such analysis, covering December 1984, is contained in the 1984 edition, pages 28 and 29, a copy of which is in the Library. The 1985 figures will appear in the next edition, to be published in the autumn of 1986. This will also include detailed figures for all public holidays.
