§ Sir W. Wakefieldasked the Minister of Transport the percentage, to the nearest tenth per cent., of the total vehicles operating under C licences represented by vehicles up to one and a half tons unladen weight, as at January,1949, January, 1950, and the latest convenient date.
§ Mr. BarnesAt 31st December, 1948, the percentage was 54.6 and at 31st December, 1949, it was 55.4. The percentage at 30th September, 1950, was 54.9 but this is not strictly comparable with the earlier figures, which were based on fuel rationing. The present figures, based on licensing, include certain additional vehicles which were not rationed through the normal procedure. If these vehicles were excluded the percentage at 30th September, 1950, would have been 55.6.
