HC Deb 03 July 1984 vol 63 c100W
Mr. Gould

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what estimate he makes of the need for heavy vehicles by the armed forces in the event of a conventional war in which invasion was threatened.

Mr. Lee

Any vehicles required by HM forces in addition to the stocks they hold will be met from a scheme operated in conjunction with the Department of Transport for hiring and requisitioning vehicles.

For security reasons I am unable to disclose the quantities and types of vehicles involved.
