requirements provided that spare parts can he obtained.
If spare parts cannot be obtained I suggest that local
owners should be given permission to import four new
chassis to be fitted with bodies in Bahrain.
6 . I should like again to discuss the question of
permitting the export of cars. In my opinion the really
important factor is to prevent a reduction in the number
of public vehicles, buses, taxis and taxi lorries. It is
not of essential Importance to prevent private owners
exporting their cars. I suggest that ’if an order was
passed forbidding owners of public vehicles from convert
ing them to private vehicles then the export of private
cars would not be to the disadvantage of the public. At
present taxi owners are being tempted to sell their taxis-
to people who intend to export them and if such sales
increase the transport facilities of the island will deter
iorate. I have discussed the matter with Hr. Steele and
he informs me that in some respects old Ford or Chevrolet
cars are more useful here than newer cars of less uni
versal type because t&^spare parts for the former are
less difficult to obtain and when they cease to work
their spare parts are valuable for using on other Ford
or Cheverolet cars.
