HC Deb 22 July 1987 vol 120 c203W
Mr. Temple-Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Transport for the last year for which records are available, how many accidents have occurred on (a) motorways, (b) other trunk roads for which his Department is responsible, and (c) other roads generally caused by the problems on the road or hard shoulder of broken down vehicles, involving (i) damage, (ii) personal injury and (iii) fatality.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

I regret the information is not generally available. Reports received by the Department do not identify causes of accidents. The presence of broken-down vehicles is not recorded.
