HC Deb 17 March 1952 vol 497 cc1899-900
11 and 12. Mr. F. Beswick

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power (1) whether, in order to reduce distribution costs and consequently the price of petrol, he will ensure that the rationalised pooled system of area distribution adopted during the war is re-introduced;

(2) what arrangements exist for the distribution, under the pooled system adopted during the war, of improved types of petrol as they become available.

Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd

The answer to the first Question is "No, Sir," and the second, therefore, does not arise.
