§ 68. Lieut.-Colonel NALLasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many lorries have been disposed of to purchasers, other than the Slough company, since the agreement was made with that company in 1920; and what are the highest and lowest prices realized per lorry in these cases?
§ Captain KINGThe preparation of the return required by my hon. and gallant Friend would involve an examination of the accounts for a period of nearly three years. I regret that, with the depleted staff available, it is not feasible to undertake this work.
§ Lieut.-Colonel NALLCould the hon. and gallant Gentleman answer the last part of the question, as to the prices at which these vehicles are being sold?
§ Captain KINGI think that is covered by the answer that it requires a great deal of research.
§ Lieut.-Colonel NALLIs it not a fact that many of these vehicles are being sold to companies of doubtful origin at giveaway prices of less than £100, while ordinary people cannot get them at all?
§ Captain KINGPerhaps my hon. and gallant Friend will put another question down.
