The number of people killed or injured in road traffic accidents involving police cars has risen by sixty per cent in England and Wales.

In 2004 more than 2000 road traffic accidents involving police cars occurred on the roads in Britain, an increase of 700 more than the previous year.

Thirty-one people died, eleven more than the previous year.
The Home Office said it wanted "everything possible done" to minimise such collisions, but police must be able to pursue and apprehend offenders.

The largest number of deaths in 2003-4 involved Greater Manchester Police.

Seventy-one people were injured; nine of these were seriously injured.
