HC Deb 20 May 1946 vol 423 c5
22. Mr. Sutcliffe

asked the Minister of Transport if he is aware that the delivery of goods from retail shops is still handicapped by inadequate supplies of petrol for delivery vans; and whether, in order to reduce queues and to lessen the burdens of housewives, he will now arrange for a greater supply of petrol to be made available for this purpose.

Mr. Barnes

My information is that sufficient fuel is being made available for any reasonable retail deliveries. If the hon Member will give me details of any particular case of inadequacy he has in mind. I will be glad to look into it.
