No heavy vehicles, either load or passenger carrying, have been found to be redundant. The War Office have, however, released a number of impressed vehicles to alleviate the position of civil transport. These have been dealt with as explained in my answer to the hon. and gallant Member on 8th October. No arrangements have been made to offer vehicles to original owners, except in the case of public service passenger carrying vehicles where, should any become available, negotiations will take place to give the original owners an opportunity to re-purchase. Very few of this type will be released.
