HL Deb 16 June 1997 vol 580 c104WA
Lord Moran

asked Her Majesty's Government:

How many vehicles there are on United Kingdom roads today, what percentage of these are motor cars and how many of these are company cars.

Baroness Hayman

The most recent figures are for the end of 1996, when a total of 26.9 million vehicles were licensed for use in the United Kingdom. Of these vehicles, nearly 85 per cent., or 22.8 million, were motor cars, including an estimated 2.3 million which were company owned.
