HC Deb 09 March 1937 vol 321 c948
18. Mr. Mathers

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what proportion, if any, of the contract for 1,500,000 gallons of oil, recently placed by the Corporation of Glasgow in this country, went to the Scottish shale oil companies?

Mr. Elliot

I am informed that 75 per cent. of the oil will be supplied by the Scottish shale oil companies.

Mr. Mathers

What proportion of the petrol order, which was referred to some days ago, would have been supplied from the same source?

Mr. Elliot

I could not say without notice.
