§ 96. Lieutenant-Colonel DALRYMPLE WHITEasked the Home Secretary whether, with a view to minimise the pre- 1734 sent shortage of taxi-cabs, he will arrange that a more ample issue of petrol is made to such vehicles?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANI have been asked to reply to this question. The limitations as regards the amount of petrol allowed to applicants for motor spirit licences were removed at the end of last year. Owners of taxi-cabs are now licensed to obtain as much petrol as they desire to use in their vehicles.
