HC Deb 18 March 1925 vol 181 cc2239-40
26. Captain A. EVANS

(for Mr. CLARRY) asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will state the total storage capacity of oil fuel in the United Kingdom at the present time?

Mr. DAVIDSON

I regret that I am unable to answer my hon. Friend's question as it is not in the public interest to publish any figures as regards naval oil fuel storage.

27. Captain A. EVANS (for Mr. CLARRY)

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he will state the source upon which, in the case of national emergency, we would rely for the supply of oil fuel for the Navy?

Mr. DAVIDSON

I can assure my hon. Friend that every available source of supply would be drawn upon.
