HC Deb 09 December 1919 vol 122 cc1101-2
4. Sir W. SEAGER

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department if he is aware of the need of adequate storage facilities for oils; and, if so, what steps are being taken to meet the need?

Sir H. GREENWOOD

The need of adequate storage facilities for petroleum is fully realised. A considerable amount of tankage has been erected or is projected both on Government and private account, and the position will be kept carefully under review.
