To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how STATS19 data on road accident statistics is shared with National Highways.
Richard Holden
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Department collects data from police forces on reported road collisions via the STATS19 collection system. This data then forms the basis for published road casualty statistics.
Following publication of the statistics, non-sensitive variables are made available as open data on data.gov.uk; this open dataset can be accessed by anyone, including National Highways. Variables considered sensitive, for example contributory factors, are made available on receipt of a completed application for, and agreement of, a suitable end user licence. Sensitive data are shared with National Highways on this basis.
