HC Deb 14 July 1947 vol 440 c6W
76. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Supply on what principle, other than availability, are purchases of motor-cars made for Government Departments, embassies and legations; and if he will take steps to ensure that such purchases shall be designed to encourage the production of suitable models for the home and export markets.

Mr. Wilmot

Yes. My Department does this by purchasing standard models.
