§ Sir S. Reedasked the Secretary for Mines how many transport vehicles have been converted from the use of petroleum products to producer-gas; and what steps are being taken to quicken the process?
§ Mr. LloydI regret that exact figures are not available, but at least 125 vehicles are now running. According to figures recently supplied by the manufacturers of producer equipment, however, some 750 producer-plants for transport vehicles have been constructed or are in course of construction. As regards the last part of the Question, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave on this subject on 20th March to the right hon. Member for Limehouse (Mr. Attlee).
