HC Deb 20 May 1924 vol 173 c1985
20. Lord APSLEY

asked the Secretary of State for War whether it is intended to replace the Peerless armoured car at present issued to Yeomanry armoured car units by a type of a more modern and efficacious design?

Mr. WALSH

It is hoped to effect this replacement in the course of the next few years.

Colonel GRETTON

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether the Peerless car is a British made car?

Mr. WALSH

I did not say whether it was or not. What was asked in the main question was whether it was likely to be replaced.

Lord APSLEY

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that these cars are entirely obsolete, some of them being 10 years old, and that they weigh eight tons?
