§ 26. Mr. Douglas Marshallasked the Minister of Transport if he will state the amount of bunkers purchased in January, 1947, with hard currency, the amount to be expressed in U.S. dollars and tons.
§ Mr. BarnesNo precise information is available, but I estimate that the bunkers purchased in hard currency in January, 1947, by all British ships would amount to al-out 50,000 tons. The cost expressed in United States dollars would be approximately 25,000 dollars.
