HC Deb 18 November 1948 vol 458 c554
37. Lieut.-Commander Clark Hutchison

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power for how long unused standard petrol ration coupons of the present series will be valid.

Mr. Gaitskell

As I explained in reply to the hon. and gallant Member for Chelsea (Commander Noble) on 4th November, standard ration coupons are valid for the month shown on them and five succeeding months. Those for June, marked "First month," will not be valid after the end of November, but those marked "Second month" will be valid till the end of December, and so on— those marked "Sixth month" being valid till the end of April.
