§ Colonel Carverasked the Minister of Works whether, in view of the near completion of aerodromes, he will release a number of Crawler tractors which are urgently needed and could be sold or leased for agricultural purposes.
§ Mr. SandysThe Crawler tractors used on airfield construction were mainly owned by the contractors. Steps have been taken to make them available for agricultural purposes if they are of suitable size and can be spared from constructional work. Any suitable Government-owned Crawler tractors not required for operational purposes have already been sent to agricultural work.
