HC Deb 24 March 1937 vol 321 c2888
43. Mr. Dobbie

asked the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence, whether the arrangements made by the Government for the storage of adequate reserves of mineral oil for a national emergency mean that the additional tankage necessary will be provided by the State, or is it intended to guarantee or subsidise the provision of additional tankage by private enterprise?

The Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence (Sir Thomas Inskip)

In the answer which I gave to the hon. Member on 17th March, I said that arrangements are being made for the storage of adequate reserves of oil. It is not possible for me to give details of the arrangements.
