§ 16. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the First Lord of the Admiralty how many motor cars were still in use by the Royal Navy, at home and abroad, on 1st November, 1919; how many of these motor cars are driven by women; and how many motor cars are there for the use of the Royal Navy in London?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe total number of motor cars in use by the Royal Navy at home and abroad on 1st November of this year was 162. Since that date there has been a reduction of forty-six. None of these motor cars is driven by a woman. For the use of the Royal Navy in London there are seven cars at headquarters and three in the Greater London areas.
§ Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYDoes my right hon. Friend see any prospect of further reducing these motor cars, in view of the fact that before the War the Navy never used any at all?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAIt is a matter of the needs of the Service. I cannot give any undertaking, but they will not be retained when there is no use for them.
