HC Deb 23 November 1926 vol 200 cc193-4
33. Mr. EVERARD

asked the Postmaster-General whether he will take steps to ensure that in future all motor lorries purchased for the use of his Department are of British manufacture?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

It is the present practice of the Post Office to purchase motor lorries of British manufacture, and I propose to continue that practice.

Major-General Sir ALFRED KNOX

Will the right hon. Gentleman state how many lorries, purchased last year were of British manufacture and how many were of foreign manufacture?

Sir W. MITCHELL-THOMSON

All were of British manufacture and none were foreign.
