HC Deb 04 March 1942 vol 378 c664W
Lieutenant Butcher

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport the period of time taken by his Department to decide whether a licence for the purchase of a new vehicle shall be granted in the case of applications recommended by the Regional Transport Commissioners?

Mr. Noel-Baker

I am sending my hon. Friend a note of the procedure on applications for licences to acquire motor vehicles. He will see that where the application has been supported by the Regional Transport Commissioner there is no delay except when there are insufficient vehicles to meet the approved demand.
