§ 95. Sir W. Darlingasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why the expenses incurred on the Departmental vehicles on his Vote went up from £34,000 in 1951–52 to £53,000 in 1952–53; and whether this increase includes the transfer in 1951–52 of £6,000 from general administration to another Sub-head of his Estimates.
§ Sir D. Maxwell FyfeThe increase of £19,000 in the Estimate for 1952–53 is due to the expenditure of £11,000 on the purchase of 24 load-carrying vehicles for use at Civil Defence stores, and to an increase of £8,000 in the cost of repairs to vehicles for which my Department is responsible. The answer to the second part of the Question is No.
