§ 24. Sir G. Foxasked the Minister of War Transport whether he will now amend the practice with regard to the granting of permits for reconditioned ex-Service motor cars and make such permits available, where required, without exception, to all ex-Servicemen who have lost a leg and who, in consequence, find difficulty in using public vehicles.
§ 36. Commander Maitlandasked the Minister of War Transport whether any reconditioned ex-Service motor cars are available for issue to local authorities to enable them to equip their works superintendents and other officials in a manner which will enable them to increase the rate of progress of their housing schemes.
§ Mr. BarnesI regret that the number of these cars becoming available is so small278W that I must reserve them, except for a small proportionwhich are allocated to nurses and midwives, for badly disabled ex-Servicemen. As regards the latter, I can only entertain applications from those with a disability of 100 per cent. or thereabouts, who need a car to enable them to obtain a livelihood.
