§ 2. Mr. Shepherdasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs how many new British cars have been supplied to the Control Commission in Germany during the past 12 months.
§ Mr. MayhewSeven hundred and six, during the 12 months ended 30th November, 1947.
§ Mr. ShepherdHow does the Under-Secretary defend this number of vehicles being sent over to Germany, (a), in view of the production of cars in Germany itself, and, (b), in view of enormous number of cars surplus to war requirements rotting in parks in Germany?
§ Mr. MayhewThere are a number of cars rotting in parks, and a number of the Control Commission cars which were requisitioned earlier are tending to rot. I should require notice of the first part of the question.
