HC Deb 23 July 1946 vol 425 c1852
23. Mr. Sidney Marshall

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he will allow the basic petrol ration for the months of August and September to be taken up in either of the two months.

Mr. Shinwell

Basic ration coupons for July will be valid for use during August at the increased rate which becomes operative on 1st August, and the August coupons will be similarly valid for use in September. I am not prepared, however, to ante-date the September coupons.
