Mr. RENNIE SMITH

asked the Secretary of State for War the number of tanks and armoured cars in his Department; and how many are at present under construction?

Sir L. WORTHINGTON-EVANS

There are at present 336 tanks and 158 armoured cars in possession of the Department. 199 of the tanks are of war design and many of them would require overhaul before they would be fit for active service. 16 of the armoured cars require complete reconditioning. 16 tanks and five armoured cars are under construction.
