HC Deb 21 June 1948 vol 452 c111W
95. Mr. Peter Freeman

asked the Minister of Transport what amount of hard-wood is allocated to garages for repair purposes of private cars; and, in view of the fact that many now being overhauled and repaired were made before the war, he will arrange for an increased supply to be available.

Mr. Barnes

In the first half of 1948, 900,000 cubic feet of hard-wood were allocated for the repair and maintenance of public service vehicles, goods vehicles, private cars and trailers. I regret that separate figures for private cars are not available. I am not aware that the allocations have proved inadequate.
