HC Deb 18 March 1936 vol 310 cc418-9
33. Mr. MATHERS

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether the importance of maintaining and developing the Scottish shale-oil industry is recognised by his Department; and whether efforts will be made to increase the use of oil produced from shale by the Royal Air Force?

Sir P. SASSOON

I regret that oil produced from shale is not suitable for Royal Air Force requirements.
