Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, which local authority in (a) Greater Manchester and (b) England had the highest number of alcohol-related traffic collisions in the latest period for which information is available.

Data on personal injury road collisions reported by police is available via the STATS19 data collection. This includes the results of breath tests conducted by the police at the scene of collisions. The latest breath test data is for 2021.

Within the Greater Manchester metropolitan area, the local authority with the highest number of injury collisions where at least one driver failed a breath test (including drivers who refused to provide a sample) was Manchester with 23. The local authority with the highest number in England was Kent with 154.
