HC Deb 09 December 1941 vol 376 c1405W
Sir A. Maitland

asked the Secretary of State for War in how many cases his Department has repudiated responsibility for damage caused to property by drivers of War Department vehicles on the ground that the drivers were unauthorised, or that the drivers were not authorised to drive War Department vehicles at the times of the accidents?

Captain Margesson

No figures are available for the period before 1st August, 1941. Since that date there have been 55 cases of the kind referred to by my hon. Friend.
