§ Sir R. Clarryasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he is satisfied that night driving of commercial vehicles is essential to the arrangements made by his department; what provision is made for warm food to be available at roadside eating-houses at any time of the night for the drivers of these vehicles; and what is the number of such eating-houses in relation to the number of drivers requiring this service?
§ Colonel LlewellinThe cessation of the night driving of commercial goods vehicles would be seriously detrimental to the war effort. My right hon. Friend the Minister of Food is making arrangements for adequate supplies of food to be available to roadside eating-houses to enable them to provide meals for travelling transport workers. I regret that the information asked for in the last part of the Question is not available.
