Dr. SALTER
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department the number of persons killed on the highways of this country during 1929 by mechanically-propelled vehicles?
The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT
(Mr. Short)
The figures asked for are, for England and Wales, 5,369, and for Great Britain 6,016.
Colonel HOWARD-BURY
Is it not the case that the greater number of these are killed by vehicles going at less than 20 miles an hour?
Mr. SHORT
I should want notice of that question.
