A PARLIAMENTARY question, last week, addressed to the Minister 'of Supply by Mr. Glenvil-Hall related to an alleged practice of dealers in buying used motor vehicles against a rise in•
prices after the war. This Member. suggested requisitioning all such vehicles, so that spare parts, tyres, metal, etc., could be obtained from them for urgent use: Sir Andrew Duncan stated that all ex-Army vehicles, surplus to Government requirements, were sold to the original makers for repair and resold at controlled prices to licensed purchasers. This ensured that spare parts, tyres, etc., were used to the best advantage for essential transport.
