HC Deb 23 January 1947 vol 432 c88W
117. Sir J. Mellor

asked the Minister of Supply if he will make reconditioned service vehicles available for use by officials of the Coal Board; and if he will give an assurance that no priority will attach to the Board's application for new motorcars.

Mr. Woodburn

I regret that no reconditioned Service vehicles can be supplied as existing priority demands already exceed the numbers available. The Coal Board will not receive priority in the purchase of new cars, nor, I understand, do they intend to ask for any.
