Lieut.-Colonel Thorpasked the Minister of War Transport if he is aware that an application by the Northumberland Whinstone Company for a licence to replace two tipping wagons took seven months to obtain from the date when they were certified by his Department to be beyond repair; and if he will ensure that a further application on 22nd October will be dealt with more expeditiously?
