§ 36. Lieut.-Commander KENWORTHYasked the Secretary of State for War whether any trials have been made by the mechanised units or Army Service Corps, or other petrol-using forces of His Majesty's Army with petrol distilled from British coal; and, if so, with what results?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for WAR (Mr. T. Shaw)Certain limited trials have taken place, but so far the experience gained has not been sufficient to enable any definite opinion to be expressed as to whether this type of petrol would be satisfactory for general Army purposes.
§ Lieut. - Commander KENWORTHYWill the right hon. Gentleman say if the trials are continuing?
§ Mr. SHAWYes, Sir, and trials will continue to be made of anything that offers an improvement upon present conditions.
