§ 26. Mr. J. Griffithsasked the Secretary for Mines whether he can make a statement indicating what progress has been made in the conversion of road vehicles to the use of producer-gas?
§ The Secretary for Mines (Mr. David Grenfell)While both the number of producer-gas-driven vehicles on the road and the number of units in process of manufacture are steadily increasing, I regret that precise figures are not at present available. I can, however, say that over 190 goods vehicles are now running on producer-gas, as well as a number of 138 public service vehicles, and there is good reason to believe that nearly 10 times that number of producer-gas units are now in course of manufacture.
