HC Deb 26 February 1946 vol 419 c1740
53. Colonel Erroll

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fuel shortage in this country, he will consider reducing the duty on imported fuel oil.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr. Dalton)

I have noted the hon. and gallant Member's suggestion.

Colonel Erroll

Might I ask the right hon. Gentleman if he is going to do anything about it?

Mr. Dalton

I must not anticipate my Budget statement.
