HC Deb 06 July 1920 vol 131 c1219
30. Sir J. BRUTON

asked the Secretary of State for War what was the total number of general service wagons delivered to Monk Meadow, Gloucester; what was the approximate cost of the wagons; how many of them have been used for the purposes for which they were ordered; and how many of them are still at Monk Meadow?

Sir A. WILLIAMSON

5,434 general service wagons have been delivered to Monk Meadow, and their cost was approximately £565,000; 4,287 wagons have been used for the purpose for which they were ordered, and the remaining 1,147 are to be issued to the Dominions.

Sir J. BRUTON

When will the wagons be removed, as the site is required for the storage of timber?

Sir A. WILLIAMSON

I should like to have notice of that question.
