HC Deb 12 December 1991 vol 200 c542W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement about the incident involving vehicles belonging to his Department near junction 21 of the M25 on 1 December.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

A section of the motorway between junctions 19 and 21 on the M25 was closed by the local civil police using normal police powers after a vehicle in a MOD convoy suffered a mechanical breakdown. There was no danger to the public, police or military personnel. The inconvenience caused to other road users is greatly regretted.

Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what was the registration number of the vehicle belonging to his Department that was damaged in the incident near junction 21 of the M25 on 1 December.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

For security reasons, it is not our practice to disclose the registration numbers of military vehicles.
