HC Deb 05 July 1999 vol 334 c367W
Mr. Sheerman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what estimate his Department has made of the number of people(a) killed, (b) injured and (c) whose lives have been saved, by air bags in vehicles in the most recent year for which figures are available. [86300]

Ms Glenda Jackson

Statistics collected for Great Britain do not yield this information. However, international research indicates that air bags provide an overall safety benefit for drivers.
