HC Deb 29 November 1945 vol 416 c1513
6. Mr. Quintin Hogg

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many motor vehicles and of what types are in the open air N.F.S. dump at Rickmansworth; and for what period of time it is proposed to leave them there.

Mr. Ede

There are 33 National Fire Service vehicles lodged at Rickmansworth in a park adjoining a fire station. Of these, 18 were commercial vehicles, and 15 cars, of which nine have bodies specially converted to National Fire Service use. Of the 33, 28 have been reported as surplus to the responsible disposals Department, the Ministry of Supply, to whom the last part of the Question should be addressed. The other five await classification.

Mr. Hogg

Will the right hon. Gentleman tell us on what date the 28 were reported as surplus?

Mr. Ede

Certainly, if the hon. Member will put a question down.
