HC Deb 02 February 1943 vol 386 c726
8. Mr. Wilson

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power the number of cases in Sheffield in which proceedings have been taken in the courts for offences under the War Fuel Rationing (No. 3) Order, 1941, and committed since 1st August, 1942; and what were the penalties imposed in each case?

Major Lloyd George

I assume that the hon. Member's Question relates to the Motor Fuel Rationing (No. 3) Order, 1941, which has since been superseded by the Control of Motor Fuel Order, 1942. Proceedings have been taken in 68 cases in Sheffield for offences against this Order during the period 1st August to 31st December, 1942, and fines up to £5 have been imposed in 38 of these cases.
