HC Deb 29 April 1948 vol 450 cc587-8
21. Mr. Perrins

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he is aware that many workers in Birmingham who have accepted the advice of the Government and have staggered their annual holiday, will suffer by reason of the fact that in many cases their annual holiday is due to begin before 1st June, the date chosen for the re-introduction of the basic petrol ration; and, in these circumstances, if he will agree that coupons may be used before the commencing date and make arrangements for the issue of coupons to allow this to be done.

Mr. Gaitskell

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given to the hon. Member for Lancaster (Mr. F. Maclean) on 26th April.
