HC Deb 28 February 1985 vol 74 cc233-4W
Mr. David Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what is the estimated cost of a single fatal road accident.

Mrs. Chalker

The average cost of a fatal road accident in Great Britain is estimated at £167,160 in 1983 (the most recent year for which an estimate is available); this figure includes resource costs and an allowance for pain, grief and suffering.
