Figures are not at present available of overseas sales to U.N.R.R.A. of British war surplus vehicles for this period. The following numbers of British vehicles were delivered to U.N.R.R.A. in the United Kingdom during March in respect of orders placed previously:

256 new load carrying vehicles worth £120,000 approximately, and

333 load carrying vehicles and 14 passenger vehicles worth approximately £94,000 which were either from war surpluses or were reconditioned.
