HC Deb 07 June 1917 vol 94 c335
82. Mr. PENNEFATHER

asked whether motorists in France are now allowed a supply of 60 gallons of petrol per month; and, if so, the reasons for the greater restrictions in the allowance in this country?

Mr. ROBERTS

In Franco, under an Order issued on 1st March last, supplies of motor spirit are strictly reserved for the needs of national defence and for purposes of essential national importance. The supply of 60 gallons per month is, I understand, a maximum allowance for motor vehicles, and applies to all vehicles, including omnibuses.
