HC Deb 22 February 1949 vol 461 c247W
16. Brigadier Prior-Palmer

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can give any indication as to the position with regard to spare parts for tanks borne on the strength of units.

Mr. Shinwell

There is at present a shortage of some ranges of spare parts for British tanks. My Department is in close and continuous touch with the Ministry of Supply with a view to removing the shortage as early as possible.
