HC Deb 03 February 1999 vol 324 c626W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions in how many cases a driver, found to be over the legal limit for alcohol, has caused the death of another person in each of the last three years; and if he will make a statement. [68308]

Ms Glenda Jackson

The numbers of accidents which involved a driver who was over the legal limit for alcohol and in which one or more people killed were not themselves drivers above the legal limit were: 170 in 1994, 200 in 1995 and 190 in 1996.

These are estimates rounded to the nearest ten and are given for the last three years for which figures are available.
