HC Deb 06 February 1940 vol 357 c20
38. Captain Sir William Brass

asked the Secretary for Mines what arrangements he has made to see that the total garage petrol storage capacity in the country is being made use of to the full in order to keep a reserve of petrol in case of an emergency shortage in the future?

The Secretary for Mines (Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd)

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer which I gave on 31st January to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Coventry (Captain Strickland).

Sir W. Brass

Can my hon. Friend say whether all the tank capacity at the garages in the country is being fully used?

Mr. Lloyd

No, Sir, but there is other well dispersed storage accommodation which is not at present fully utilised.
