HC Deb 28 July 1955 vol 544 cc189-90W
70. Mr. Ernest Davies

asked the Secretary of State for War what is the percentage of Army vehicles which are petrol and diesel engined, respectively, at the latest available date; and what were the comparable figures for each of the previous five years.

Mr. Head

Figures are available only for the three years beginning 1953. During these years the percentage of vehicles with diesel engines was 2.74 per cent., 2.91 per cent. and 3.08 per cent. respectively. The rest had petrol engines.
