§ 24. Sir Herbert Williamsasked the Secretary of State for War if he has made inquiries in respect of the incident when a number of military vehicles attended on three separate occasions at a petrol station for the purpose of obtaining petrol; and if he has any further statement to make.
§ Sir J. GriggI am making further inquiries in an attempt to resolve the conflict of evidence which appears to exist. But as I am not sure that the unit in question is still in this country, the inquiries may not be entirely successful.
§ Sir H. WilliamsHaving regard to the fact that the last inquiry was directed to a date other than that on which the incident took place, and that my right hon. Friend has now in his possession definite information from the proprietor of the garage, will he expedite the inquiry?
§ Sir J. GriggI said that I would expedite it as much as possible, but if the unit has left the country, I shall be in some difficulty.
