HC Deb 18 June 1936 vol 313 cc1149-50
13. Brigadier-General SPEARS

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that in a number of towns local branches of the Motor Traders' Association are successfully bringing pressure on town councils to close municipal car parks in the neighbourhood of garages; and whether, as the supply of car park attendants is one of the main sources of employment for disabled ex-service men, he will consult with the British Legion so as to concert with them measures to discourage such action?

Mr. E. BROWN

I am not aware of the circumstances to which my hon. Friend refers, but if he will send me particulars I shall be pleased to consider, in consultation with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Transport, whether there is any action which I could usefully take.
