§ 34. Air Commodore A. V. Harveyasked the Assistant Postmaster-General how many official cars are now available in the pool at headquarters; and what reductions have been made in the past month.
§ Mr. GammansThe headquarters pool of cars has been reduced from 14 to nine.
§ Mr. FellIs my hon. Friend aware that his action in bringing about this considerable saving will be highly thought of throughout the country, and that it shows that this Government are going to do this job quickly?
§ Air Commodore HarveyIs my hon. Friend aware that these reductions could probably have been made months or even, years ago?
§ Mr. WoodburnWould the hon. Gentleman take careful note of the amount of time wasted by officials through immobility?
