HC Deb 16 April 1946 vol 421 c428W
128. Mr. York

asked the Minister of Transport how many ex-Service reconditioned motor cars he anticipates are, and will be, available for purchase by disabled ex-Servicemen; how many applications for a certificate to purchase have been received; and how many have been refused

Mr. G. R. Strauss:

At present the average number per month is 70–80 cars. My right hon. Friend the Minister of Supply cannot forecast the future supply but has no reason to expect an increase. I have no separate record of the total applications from disabled ex-Servicemen, but I have nearly 1,000 applications from seriously disabled men on my waiting lists.
