§ 120. Commander Nobleasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that the L.C.C. War Debris Survey Department, consisting of some 2,000 vehicles, has recently been reduced; and whether, as housing is being held up through lack of transport, every consideration was given to retaining this unit for transportation in the building trade.
§ Mr. BevanYes, Sir. The continued use of the organisation as a unit was not found to be practicable but the vehicles and equipment, as they become surplus to Government requirements, are available for Government sponsored demands of local authorities.
