Norman Baker: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport what estimate he has made of the (a) percentage of UK-registered and (b) number of foreign-registered vehicles of each type which have used (i) motorways and (ii) dual carriageways in the last year. [312503]
Paul Clark: The Department for Transport does not hold data on either the percentage of vehicles that have used motorways or dual carriageways, or the number of foreign registered vehicles that have used motorways or dual carriageways.
Chris Ruane: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport how many and what proportion of drivers in each five-year age cohort were involved in a road traffic accident causing (a) death and (b) serious injury in each of the last three years for which figures are readily available. [311727]
Paul Clark: The information requested is shown in the following tables.

It is not possible to identify if the same driver was involved in more than one accident so there may be some double counting in the number of drivers involved in accidents. This does not take into account people that drive without a licence, driving licence holders that do not drive or those under 17 years of age.
Due to the small sample size used in the National Travel Survey some age groups are shown in age bands larger than five years in the second table.
Chris Ruane: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Transport how many (a) adults and (b) children who were (i) killed and (ii) seriously injured in road accidents involving drivers who were under the influence of (A) drink, (B) drugs and (C) both drink and drugs in each of the last three years. [311866]
Paul Clark: The estimated number of (a) adults and (b) children who were (i) killed and (ii) seriously injured in reported drink drive accidents in each of the last three years with data available is shown in the following table:
Estimated( 1 ) (i) killed and (ii) seriously injured drink drive casualties: GB 2005-07 | |||

(1)Estimates are based on breath test and coroners' data. They are rounded to the nearest 10 so columns may not add up to their total. (2)Aged 16+ years. (3)Aged 0-15 years. (4)Includes cases where age was not recorded. |
The number of (a) adults and (b) children who were (i) killed and (ii) seriously injured in road accidents where "driver impaired by drugs (illicit or medicinal)" was reported as a contributory factor in each of the last three years with data available, and the number where a driver also had "impaired by alcohol" reported as a contributory factor, are shown in the following table:
