Mr. Amess

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many(a) deaths and (b) injuries have been caused in each of the last five years by people using mobile phones while driving. [178447]

Mr. Jamieson

[holding answer 14 June 2004]: The information requested is not currently available. However, research has shown that using a mobile phone while driving is distracting and drivers are four times more likely to have an accident if they do so.
