HC Deb 15 March 1945 vol 409 cc371-2
21. Mr. Burke

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the authority dealing with the disposal of N.F.S. motor vehicles now lying at the N.F.S. depot at Laycock, near Blackpool; and what procedure is to be followed by persons desiring to purchase these vehicles for immediate use.

Mr. H. Morrison

The vehicles in question are surplus Government vehicles which have been reported to the Ministry of Supply as available for disposal. Anyone wishing to acquire such vehicles for use on the road should first apply to the Regional Transport Commissioner, Ministry of War Transport, for a permit to acquire them.

Mr. Burke

If I send the hon. Member a bundle of papers from various Government Departments which have dealt with these vehicles, including the Ministry of Supply, will he sort it out for me, and find out exactly what is the procedure?

Mr. Morrison

I will do my very best to effect the necessary steps of co-ordination.
