HC Deb 22 January 1948 vol 446 c370
43. Commander Noble

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he is now able to state the actual saving of the basic petrol cut, taking into account all supplementary allowances.

Mr. Gaitskell

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply that I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for the Forest of Dean (Mr. Philips Price) yesterday.

Commander Noble

Would the Minister say whether this is the final figure and whether it includes the many applications for allowances which he has told us are still outstanding?

Mr. Gaitskell

Yes, Sir. The answer to which I referred relates to the saving made in December, and is, therefore, comprehensive.
