asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation how many children, women and men have been killed, and seriously or otherwise injured in the past 20 years on that stretch of the main Leek Road which runs from the lime kiln to the Milton Cross Roads in Stoke-on-Trent; and for how many years the question of widening this stretch of road has been under consideration.

The required particulars are:

—	Injuries
	Fatal	Serious	Slight
Children	2	16	55
Women	—	9	40
Men	8	31	153
	10	56	248

The widening of this stretch of road has been under consideration for 20 years, but has been delayed by the war and subsequent financial stringency.
