HC Deb 31 May 1967 vol 747 cc72-3
11. Sir R. Russell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what is the number of official cars used by all ranks of the British Army of the Rhine and the Royal Air Force in Germany, which are of foreign manufacture; and why all official cars are not of British manufacture.

Mr. Reynolds

The figure is the same as I gave to the hon. Gentleman in my Answer of 6th March.—[Vol. 742 c. 212.]

Sir R. Russell

Does that include West Berlin? Are not there many more German vehicles in use in West Berlin?

Mr. Reynolds

The Question referred to the B.A.O.R., and the position in West Berlin is different, where there are a number of non-British vehicles, but in the past these have been bought from funds provided by arrangement with the West Berlin city authorities. This is being dealt with at the moment.
