HC Deb 23 June 1952 vol 502 c134W
47. Miss Burton

asked the Minister of Supply what conditions have to be fulfilled by car hire firms before his Department allocate new cars to them.

Mr. Sandys

The Ministry of Supply does not allocate motor cars. However, it does from time to time support requests to the manufacturers from the British Travel and Holiday Association for early deliveries of a limited number of cars to firms catering for foreign tourists. The firms have to show that, among other things, their business is bringing in foreign currency.
