La Mr Ray Carter (Birmingham, Northfield): To
ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how many notified road accidents have occurred in Hong Kong in each of the past five years; how many of these accidents caused injuries; and what number of these cases produced prosecutions M.Pete, band convictions.
Blob
The table below shows road accidents notified to the police during the
calendar years 1969 to 1973. Slight accidents were those where no
injury was caused. Serious accidents were those where an injury was
caused. Figures for convictions for road traffic accidents are
classified by the type of offence. They do not therefore show whether
injuries were caused in individual cases. That information, and the
figures for prosecutions, could not be obtained without prolonged
research. The table also shows convictions for the more serious
traffic offences (defined as dangerous and careless driving, driving
without a licence or third party insurance, speeding, drunken driving,
failing to stop after an accident, forgery of a driving licence and
driving whilst disqualified), and for all traffic offences.
The drop
in the latter in 1972 and 1973 was caused by the introduction of a
fixed penalty "ticket" system for parking offences, which are thus
excluded for those years.
