Sir Robert Rankinasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he will cause the railway companies to appoint full-time fuel economy officers in each of the main works and in each region of the line to act in collaboration with the executive officers concerned and with the wardens in each shop and set of premises.
§ The Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport (Mr. Noel-Baker)In order to secure the utmost economy in the use of fuel by the railways, the general managers have personally accepted responsibility for applying all the necessary measures.
