HC Deb 12 January 1976 vol 903 c59W
Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many foreign-built ambulances have been bought by hospitals and ambulance services in the last year.

Dr. Owen

Seven hundred and fifty-nine ambulances were delivered to regional health authorities in 1975 and 172 of these were supplied by an Irish firm. All were, however, constructed on chassis of British manufacture.
