HC Deb 02 March 1970 vol 797 cc21-2W
Mr. Monro

asked the Minister of Technology if he will take steps to ensure that sufficient spares are available from the motor industry to keep heavy trans- port lorries fully serviceable; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Ernest A. Davies

Any complaints received about the non-availability of spare parts are investigated by the Department in collaboration with the motor industry's trade association, which is fully aware of the importance of after-sales service and of the maintenance of adequate stocks of spare parts. No complaints about shortage of spares have been received by Mintech in recent months.
