HC Deb 24 February 1954 vol 524 cc35-6W
77. Mr. Foot

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation how many lorries previously owned by the Road Haulage Executive have so far been sold to private owners; and what percentage these sales represent of the total number of lorries peviously owned by the Road Haulage Executive.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

1,281 in the first two lists, or about 55 per cent, of those offered without premises and some 10 per cent, of those offered with premises. This is about 3½ per cent, of the vehicles previously owned by the Road Haulage Executive the greater part of which of course have not yet been offered for sale.
