§ 43. Sir F. Sandersonasked the Minister of Supply whether in respect to the discussions which are taking place with the Motor Industry and Research Association in regard to a proving ground for the motor industry, he will see that the lay-out will include a place where machines can be tested at high speed for long periods.
§ Mr. WilmotThis requirement will be borne in mind in the selection of a site for the proposed proving ground.
§ Sir F. SandersonIs the Minister aware that unless these facilities are provided quickly, there will be no chance of British manufacturers winning any of the races held on the Continent next year, and, if they are unable to do so, it will be to the detriment of the British manufacturers and to the advantage of the Continental manufacturers?
§ Mr. WilmotYes, Sir, I have been so advised.
