HC Deb 27 October 1947 vol 443 c30W
112. Lieutenant - Commander Clark Hutchison

asked the Minister of Supply whether in view of the continuing difficulty which doctors are experiencing in obtaining new motor cars he will consider allowing the import of motor cars from overseas in cases where the absence of a reliable motor car can be shown to be having an adverse effect on the work of a doctor.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

Since it is essential to avoid the expenditure of foreign exchange wherever possible, licences to import motor cars can only be granted when the cars are genuine gifts.
