HC Deb 18 March 1947 vol 435 c61W
Major Beamish

asked the Minister of Supply whether he will accord a measure of priority in the allocation of new load-carrying vehicles to firms engaged in food distribution.

Mr. Wilmot

The allocation of load-carrying vehicles is handled by the manufacturers, who are aware of the claims of the distributive side of essential industries such as coal, building materials and foodstuffs.
