There are 39 vehicle depots in Great Britain under the control of the Ministry of Supply and on 31st October they contained approximately 47,000 vehicles declared surplus by the Services and the N.F.S. In addition an approximately equal number had been declared surplus, but had not been transferred to depots under the control of the Ministry of Supply.
