The Prime Minister

Mr Deputy Speaker, Sir, the list for former Ministers is a very long list. I will circulate it. But let me just say, that a total of 42 official vehicles were acquired for use by former Ministers at a total cost of Rs120 million. Let me also add, the House may wish to note, that no new cars have been purchased either for myself or for the Deputy Prime Minister since we took office, in spite of the fact, that these cars have broken down.
