HC Deb 09 July 1917 vol 95 c1582
5. Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the production of shale petrol in Scotland is now larger than ever; and whether there is sufficient storage for the output?

Dr. ADDISON

As a result of the steps which have been taken, there has been an increase in the production of shale oil in Scotland, but it is hoped that a still further increase may be obtained in the near future. I am informed that ample storage accommodation is available.
