§ Mr. HendersonTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many vehicles and at what value were purchased by(a) his Department and (b) other public sector agencies for which he is responsible, in 1988; and how many of these vehicles were British-made within the definition of British as set out by the Department of Trade and Industry in its arrangement on content with the European Community.
§ Mr. Donald ThompsonDuring the financial year 1988–89, my Department purchased 43 vehicles, at a total cost of £336,800. All vehicles were EC-made, but the number that were specifically British-made is not readily available, since many models are produced in more than one EC country.
Information about non-departmental public bodies for which I am responsible is not readily available.
