U.S.A. Tractors (Imports)

HC Deb 16 March 1953 vol 512 cc162-3W

65. Sir L. Ropner

asked the Minister of Supply how many agricultural tractors were imported from the United States of America in 1952.

Mr. Low

Following is the answer:

TRACTORS IMPORTED FROM THE U.S.A. IN 1952
—	Number	Weight	Value
		tons	£
Tracklaying	179	2,621	880,591
Agricultural (other than tracklaying).	6	1	520

It is not known whether any of the tracklaying tractors were for agricultural use. The six agricultural tractors were probably of horticultural types.
