109. Colonel Wheatleyasked the Minister of Supply if he is aware that many doctors who find it necessary to replace their worn-out motor cars are unable to obtain new ones, although ordered over two years ago; and if he will now grant them equal priority with the export trade in view of their essential service to the general public.
§ Mr. J. JonesI regret that it is not possible to increase the supply of motorcars to the home market at the expense of exports. The motor industry is, however, honouring its undertaking to give as much preference as possible to the delivery of cars ordered by doctors.
