HC Deb 27 October 1947 vol 443 c486
26. Mr. Douglas Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, what is the basic petrol ration allowed to Germans in the British zone in Germany.

Mr. Mayhew

There is no basic petrol ration in the British zone of Germany. Petrol is issued only to persons engaged on essential services.

Mr. Langford-Holt

Could the hon. Gentleman tell us the dollar expenditure on the total issue of petrol for those purposes?

Mr. Mayhew

Not without notice.
