HC Deb 10 February 1942 vol 377 c1388
52. Sir H. Williams

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that some Departments of State are, and have been, disposing of used motor vehicles to dealers who subsequently sell these motor-cars to other Departments of State at an enhanced price; and what steps he proposes to take to end this waste of public money?

The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Sir Kingsley Wood)

I am not aware of any instances of the practice to which my hon. Friend refers, but I am making inquiries and will communicate with him as soon as possible.
