§ 38. Mr. FENBYasked the Minister of Transport if he will state what proportion of imports of motor spirit are consumed by private cars and by commercial vehicles, respectively?
§ Colonel ASHLEYI regret that no returns are available distinguishing the use to which imported motor spirit is put.
§ Colonel ASHLEYI said that no returns are available, and therefore the information is not likely to be available.
§ Mr. R. MORRISONCan the right hon. Gentleman explain why the Chancellor of the Exchequer seems to have information as to the relative amount consumed by private cars and commercial vehicles?
§ Colonel ASHLEYThat was purely an estimate, and it is not the same thing as a return.
