§ Colonel Ropnerasked the Minister of War Transport on what basis permits are now being granted to the public to obtain new motor cars; and whether permits can be issued to those who wore out their motor cars in their CD. activities during the war.
§ Mr. BarnesThe criterion governing the issue of permits is need in the national interest rather than the circumstances in which a person may find himself without a car. Persons who have used their cars for Civil Defence purposes are, of course, eligible for permits according to the merits of their case.
