§ 22. Mr. Errollasked the Minister of Fuel and Power how many motor-fuel ration books for the six months period, March, 1947, to August, 1947, will be printed; when printing is expected to start; and what the total cost is expected to be.
§ Mr. ShinwellThree million nine hundred and ninety-eight thousand motor fuel ration books have been ordered for the period March, 1947, to August, 1947; printing has already started and the total cost will be approximately £10,500.
§ Mr. ErrollDoes that mean that we are going to be afflicted with petrol rationing for the greater part of 1947?
§ Mr. ShinwellI have always assumed that the hon. Member could draw his own conclusions from an answer.
