HC Deb 14 October 1946 vol 427 c104W
28. Lieut.-Commander Hutchison

asked the Minister of Transport whether he will arrange for priority in the supply of spare parts to doctors and others to whom the use of a motorcar is essential in their daily business.

Mr. Barnes

There is no general control over the distribution and sale of spare parts, but for certain makes the regional maintenance and certifying officers issue spares shortage certificates to assist the owners of vehicles engaged on essential work in obtaining spare parts which are in short supply. For other makes the manufacturers have stated their ability to meet demands without the assistance of this scheme.
