HC Deb 26 April 1950 vol 474 cc935-6
12. Mr. Gammans

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies when a request was received from the police and security forces in Malaya for armoured jeeps for themselves or for estate managers; and if any jeeps have been supplied.

Mr. J. Griffiths

No request for armoured jeeps has been received from the Malayan Government.

Mr. Gammans

Is not it a fact that requests for armoured vehicles similar to armoured jeeps have been received, and that the order was not fulfilled until after several months?

Mr. Griffiths

I think that a Question about armoured vehicles was put to and answered by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for War last week, or the week before.
