HC Deb 25 March 1948 vol 448 cc3344-5
71. Mr. C. S. Taylor

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he has any statement to make about basic petrol.

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Fuel and Power (Mr. Robens)

No, Sir. I would refer the hon. Member to the reply my right hon. Friend gave to the hon. and gallant Member for Chelsea (Commander Noble) on 18th March.

Mr. Taylor

But could the Minister say on what day after the Easter Recess he will make his promised statement, so that those interested can be here to hear it?

Mr. Robens

I should hope that hon. Members will be here all the time to hear everybody. It will be in the week following the Easter Recess.

Mr. Taylor

Could the Minister say on what day, so that we can put down a Question to give the Minister an opportunity of making the statement?
