HC Deb 09 July 1996 vol 281 cc156-7W
Mr. Frank Field

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the locations of all accidents that occurred on the motorways of Wales in the last year for which figures are available; and if he will plot this information on a map and place a copy thereof in the Library. [35304]

Mr. Gwilym Jones

There were 211 personal injury road accidents on Welsh motorways—M4 and A48(M)—in 1995, which were recorded by the police and forwarded to the Welsh Office. A map plotting the location of these accidents on the motorway network could be produced only at disproportionate cost. However, appendix II of "Road Accidents: Wales 1995" includes a map showing the location of the 28 fatal and serious motorway accidents. A copy of the publication is available in the Library of the House.

A list of ordnance survey grid references for each of the 211 accidents has also been placed in the Library of the House.
