HC Deb 28 July 1997 vol 299 c37W
Mr. Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions in how many road accidents the primary cause was recorded as lorry drivers' glasses falling off for each of the last five years. [10361]

Ms Glenda Jackson

This information is not available. The police and local authorities investigate causes of accidents, and we are looking at ways of incorporating information about causation in the road accident statistics collected by the Department. It is unlikely, however, that the information could be broken down into this level of detail.
