HC Deb 13 July 1938 vol 338 c1320
58. Mr. Day

asked the Secretary of State for Air the total number of gallons of petrol and the cost of same used by the Royal Air Force on home and foreign service, separately, for the 12 months ended to the last convenient date; from whom was this petrol purchased; and what was the price per gallon?

Sir K. Wood

It would be contrary to practice and would not be in the public interest to give the information requested.

Mr. Day

Will it be in the public interest to say from whom the petrol was purchased?
