Dr. Bennettasked the First Lord of the Admiralty the total number of motor vehicles in use by his Department at the most recent convenient date; how many of these are for carriage of goods only; how many for the carriage of more than 10 persons apiece; and what were the corresponding figures in 1937.
§ Mr. J. P. L. ThomasThe total number of motor vehicles was 6,300 on 1st December. Of these, 2,500 are for the carriage of goods and 360 for the carriage of more than 10 persons apiece. Thirty per cent. is used overseas and rather less than a third at naval air stations. I regret that corresponding figures for 1937 are not available.
