§ Mr. FrenchTo ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is the total number of motor traffic accidents in the last five years where defective eyesight was found to be a contributory factor; if he will express the figures as a percentage of all moving traffic accidents for each of the years; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. ChopeStatistics recording accidents are derived from a factual record made by the police at the scene of the accident. They do not include an assessment of the cause and it is not therefore possible to provide information about the number of accidents attributable to a particular factor.
