HC Deb 26 November 1941 vol 376 cc765-6W
Mr. Lipson

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that motor cycles, urgently needed by mem- bers of the Home Guard and Civil Defence services and by munition workers, are being bought up by dealers and stored with a view to being sold at inflated prices after the war; and will he take steps to see that all such motor-cycles are released from store and made available for the war effort at reasonable prices?

Captain Waterhouse

My right hon. Friend is making inquiries into the cir-sumstances in consultation with the other Departments concerned and any action necessary will be taken.
