HC Deb 18 February 1946 vol 419 cc178-9W
Flight-Lieutenant Haire

asked the Minister of War Transport whether all possible precautions were taken to prevent a racket in prices or priorities when his Department released the distribution of new cars to the motor manufacturers and traders.

Mr. Barnes

Before this control was removed, the manufacturers gave an assurance that holders of licences to acquire new cars would be supplied first, and that in further distribution they would have regard to the need of the customer for the use of a car in the national interest.
