HC Deb 11 March 1942 vol 378 c1081W
Mr. T. Henderson

asked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware that dealers have good stocks of rubber tyres for electric vehicles used in conveying bread and milk; that such tyres cannot be used for private motor-cars; and whether he will permit sales to take place in order to maintain food distribution?

Sir A. Duncan

I am informed that the stocks of tyres for electric vehicles are small, and that such tyres can be used for other vehicles. I regret that I cannot relax the standstill Order pending the introduction of a licensing system.
