HC Deb 19 April 1917 vol 92 c1871W
Mr. KENNEDY

asked the Minister of Munitions how many permits have been issued for new cars to proposed private owners; how many of these were issued in respect of Ford cars; and how many Ford cars have been delivered under these permits?

Sir W. EVANS

The records of the Department are not kept in a form which enables me to answer this question, and the labour of searching for the information would be out of proportion to any useful purpose which could be served. I may say, however, that it is unlikely that many Ford cars have been supplied recently to private purchasers, as the Government requirements have absorbed practically the entire output.
