HC Deb 12 December 1949 vol 470 cc2342-3
29. Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he proposes to control the manufacture and sale of Baxtrol, in view of the fact that this substance has to be mixed with petrol if it is to be effective.

Mr. Gaitskell

No, Sir; not for the present.

Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

Subject to the needs of industrial users and speedways being satisfied, is it necessary to ban supplies of acetone and methanol from the makers of Baxtrol?

Mr. Gaitskell

No, Sir. As far as I know, there is no intention of banning supplies.
