§ Major HURSTasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions what functions are fulfilled by the Royal Army Service Corps Petrol Wagon Depot, at Cecil Street, Greenheys, Manchester; whether adjacent residents allege that the personnel of the depot use these cars freely for other purposes; and whether he will cause inquiries to be made?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYThe Ministry of Munitions lorries and cars are garaged in Cecil Street, Greenheys, Manchester. This is entirely a civilian organisation, and has no connection with the Royal Army Service Corps. The cars attached to this depot are utilised for the legitimate business of the Ministry of Munitions, Ministry of Labour, and Controller of Coal Mines. No information has been received of any alleged misuse of the cars by the personnel of the depot, and if the hon. Member can supply any further details I should be only too glad to make full inquiries, and if the misuse exists to see that it is immediately discontinued.
