HC Deb 06 November 1945 vol 415 c1229W
Mr. Manningham-Buller

asked the Secretary of State for War the number of motor cars in Great Britain now held by the Army.

Mr. Lawson

The Army holds a total of 7,591 motor cars, excluding "jeeps," in Great Britain, not all of which are suitable for civilian use. This figure includes 2,348 in depots, mostly either awaiting repair for further Army use, or earmarked to meet deficiencies overseas as soon as shipping becomes available.
