HC Deb 18 November 1991 vol 199 cc10-1W
Mr. David Marshall

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will provide additional information to that published on 11 November in his "Road Safety Report 1990–91" disaggregating further the information in charts A and B into numbers of casualties at different levels of severity for each road user type in urban—speed limits up to 40 mph—and rural—speed limits over 40 mph—areas separately.

Mr. Chope

The information requested is given in the table. "Built-up roads" refers to roads with speed limits of 40 mph or less and "Non built-up roads" refers to speed limits over 40 mph.
