Major D. DAVIESasked the Secretary of State for War how many motor lorries were in the possession of the War Department at the date of the Armistice, and how many have since been sold?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe number of motor lorries in possession of the War Department at the time of the Armistice was 51,950. Sales of surplus lorries are carried out by the Disposal Board of the Ministry of Munitions, and the latter part of the question should, therefore, be addressed to that Department. The number of lorries reported to the Ministry of Munitions for disposal to date is 33,201.
