§ Sir I. Fraserasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport if, in view of the fact that special road bands for tractors cannot be obtained, he will relax the rule made under Section 9 of the Finance Act, 1940, which limits the use of tractors without road bands to journeys to railway stations, so that they may be more generally used in rural areas to ease transport difficulties?
§ Colonel LlewellinSection 9 of the Finance Act, 1940, and Regulation 31 of the Construction and Use Regulations provide as to the tyres of vehicles permissible on public roads. If my hon. and gallant Friend will inform me of any particular cases of difficulty in obtaining the equipment necessary to comply with these requirements I will see what can be done.
