HC Deb 03 November 1949 vol 469 c69W
Mr. F. Noel-Baker

asked the Minister of Supply how many officials are entitled to obtain a car from his Department at the book price after Purchase Tax has been refunded.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

There is no arrangement whereby an official can buy either a new or a second-hand car from the Ministry of Supply. Cars of the Official Car Service, which cannot be repaired economically for re-issue to Government Departments, are sold by public auction.
