HC Deb 28 November 1984 vol 68 c504W
24. Mr. Merchant

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will estimate what proportion of Government transport provided by his Department would be immobilised by a nuclear electromagnetic pulse.

Sir George Young

The Department's vehicle fleet is widely spread throughout the United Kingdom. The proportion which would be immobilised by nuclear electromagnetic pulse would depend upon the nature, weight and distribution of any attack.
