§ Mr. Craven-Ellisasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport whether, in view of the statement of the Director-General of the Ministry of War Transport, to the effect that the provision of repairs to motor vehicles would be a matter for his Department and the Ministry of Supply and that that organisation was advised before the advisory committee on motor transport made its report, what was the purpose of setting up the committee; were the details of this organisation brought to the notice of the advisory committee; and what was their report on same?
§ Colonel LlewellinI cannot trace any such statement as that to which my hon. Friend refers. The Motor Vehicle Maintenance Advisory Committee was set up by the Minister of Supply and the late Minister of Transport jointly to advise them on the various questions relating to the maintenance of civilian road transport vehicles and the repair of service vehicles in civilian establishments. Full information was placed before the committee whose report has been received. The committee's recommendations are accepted and in large part have already been implemented or are in course of being so.
