§ 36. Mr. HOGGEasked the Under-Secretary for War whether the War Office still require to take over all commercial motors of three and four tons now building; whether they could release a certain proportion, to allow firms who have already surrendered their motors to meet their business needs; and, if not now, how soon will it be before they can do so?
§ Mr. TENNANTThe Army Council are unable to release any motor lorries now being manufactured and are, in fact, still impressing such vehicles all over the 548 country. I cannot say when the military requirements will be reduced.
§ Mr. HOGGEWill my right hon. Friend say whether those firms who have already surrendered their lorries to the War Office will get first preference?
§ Mr. TENNANTI should like notice of that question.
