HC Deb 21 November 1949 vol 470 c23
42. Mr. Skeffington-Lodge

asked the Minister of Supply whether he will, in the interests of conserving our dollar resources, negotiate with the manufacturers of American tractors and other machines with a view to having spare parts for them made in this country.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

I fully appreciate the desirability of arranging for the manufacture in this country of spares for American tractors and other machines, to save dollars, and negotiations are already in progress.
