HC Deb 17 May 2000 vol 350 c178W

Country of manufacture is not routinely provided by suppliers and so the information is not readily available. Although it is possible to obtain the information from main dealers it would mean having to extract the chassis number of each vehicle in the Departmental fleet to enable the dealership to trace its country of origin. With some 550 official vehicles in use throughout the Department and Agencies, this could be done only by incurring disproportionate cost.
