HC Deb 03 July 2001 vol 371 c123W
Chris Ruane

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions if he will estimate the number of sleep-related motor vehicle crashes in each of the last 20 years. [1935]

Mr. Jamieson

Statistics on the main contributory factors in road accidents are not available. Research on behalf of the Department indicates that for car drivers in particular, driver fatigue may have been a principal factor in around 10 per cent. of accidents across the road network in Great Britain.
