HC Deb 26 July 1949 vol 467 c101W
6. Brigadier Thorp

asked the Secretary of State for War why the War Office instruction giving approval for members of the Territorial Army to take their private cars to camp was not issued before 23rd June; and how many units were unable to take advantage of this concession.

Mr. Shinwell

No instruction has been issued authorising a general allotment of petrol coupons to members of the Territorial Army taking their private cars to camp. An instruction was, however, promulgated on 23rd June, authorising the issue of a limited number of petrol coupons to those members of the Territorial Army whose private cars are used to make good deficiencies of War Department vehicles. Approximately 100 Territorial Army units had completed their camps before this instruction was issued.
