HC Deb 11 February 1985 vol 73 c49W
Dr. Marek

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will estimate the total cost of accidents on unlit roads subject to a speed limit of (a) 60 mph and (b) 70 mph.

Mr. John Stradling Thomas

In 1983, the total cost of personal injury accidents in Wales in darkness on unlit roads subject to a speed limit of 60 mph is estimated at about £9 millions. The equivalent figures for such roads with a 70 mph speed limit is about £350,000. These figures comprise resource costs and an allowance for pain, grief and suffering.
