§ 116. Mr. Price-Whiteasked the Minister of Supply what stocks of spare parts are available in respect of ex-War Department American Mach 6 x 6 tractors recently made available to local highway authorities for snow clearing purposes; if any such stocks are still retained by the War Department; and could they be made available to the highway authorities concerned as required.
§ Mr. J. FreemanThe Ministry of Supply has a limited quantity of chassis parts, springs and starting handles, which we should be glad to sell to highway authorities. I am informed by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for War that the Army has only a small stock of spares, which cannot be released as they are needed for their own maintenance purposes.
