HC Deb 16 June 1942 vol 380 c1370
37. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether the latest increase in the price of petrol was given as a result of an estimated increase in the costs of the Petroleum Board; and whether, in reaching the estimate, any account was taken of losses incurred by the oil companies in Rumania, the Dutch East Indies or other enemy or enemy-occupied territories?

Major Lloyd George

The answer to the first part of the Question is "Yes," and to the second part "No."
