HC Deb 01 May 2001 vol 367 c590W
Mr. Bob Russell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will make it his policy when referring in official documents to road incidents to use the word crash instead of accidents and if he will make a statement. [159790]

Mr. Hill

No. It is well understood that many road accidents are due to the careless, if not reckless, action of some road users, but there is nothing to be gained from a change in terminology.
