Whether injuries or deaths were associated with these alleged offences is not recorded centrally. However, proceedings for the offences "causing death by reckless driving" and "causing bodily harm by furious driving" are separately recorded and these figures are also shown. Further information could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

made to him and the meetings that have been held with interested bodies in preparation for his negotiations on the multi-fibre arrangement.

Mr. Channon

In preparation for negotiations on the multi-fibre arrangement I have held frequent meetings with organisations representing employers and employees in the textile and clothing industry, consumers, importers and retailers. I have received a large number of representations on this subject from all of these sources and from individuals writing mainly on behalf either of the industry or of the development movement. I have also received representations on the subject from some local authorities.

This week I have met the Consumers' Association, the National Consumer Council, the British Textile Confederation, the British Clothing Industry Association, the Knitting Industries Federation, the British Importers Confederation, the Retail Consortium and the TUC Textile, Clothing and Footwear Industries Committee.
