HC Deb 15 May 1981 vol 4 c376W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Transport how many cars are in use above and below 1300 cc at the latest date for which figures are available; and what he expects the trend will be over the next five years.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

At year end 1980, there were 15 million licensed private cars and vans in Great Britain. Of this total an estimated 6½ million were below 1300 cc, and an estimated 8½ million were above 1300 cc. Forecasts of the trend in licensed cars are not available separately for these two groups.
