§ 78. Mr. Boothbyasked the Minister of War Transport whether he is aware that medical practitioners in the country districts of Scotland are unable to obtain motor cars to carry out their work; and whether he will restore the priority system in cases where, the possession of a motor car is essential in the national interest.
§ Mr. BarnesI do not think that it is necessary or practicable to restore the priority system but I am reminding manufacturers of the importance of giving preference to applicants needing cars in the national interest. All holders of licences under the old system are entitled to priority in delivery.
