HC Deb 28 July 1952 vol 504 c92W
Mr. G. R. Strauss

asked the Minister of Works how many of the car pool drivers, whom the Government propose to dismiss, were stationed in London; how many in the provinces; and how many will be left after the dismissals have taken place.

Mr. Eccles

The figure of 137 which I gave to the right hon. Member on 22nd July refers to reductions which have already been effected; 74 were in London and 63 in the provinces. These reductions brought the total drivers down to 603, of whom 185 were in London.
