HC Deb 24 October 1949 vol 468 cc995-6
31. Mr. Butcher

asked the Minister of Supply why materials are not made available for private individuals who desire to construct caravans for their own use, although similar materials are made available to makers of caravans for profit.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

Certain scarce raw materials which are under licence are used for making caravans and it would not be desirable to divert these materials from the manufacturers, who are able to make a contribution to exports.
