HC Deb 21 April 1943 vol 388 c1712W
Major Lyons

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport, in view of the control exercised by him over long-distance road transport through the appointment of some 450 unit controllers, how far it is the duty of these officials to allocate traffic to the vehicles of controlled undertakings and others?

Mr. Noel-Baker

Unit controllers will so allocate long distance traffic as to secure the maximum saving of fuel and rubber, and the most efficient use of vehicles.
