§ 34. Dr. Kingasked the Minister of Fuel and Power the estimated dollar saving of one year's production by the Fawley Refinery.
§ Mr. Aubrey JonesThe operations of Fawley Refinery form part of a general plan agreed between Her Majesty's Government and the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey for reducing the dollar cost of the oil supplied by the company within the sterling area. I cannot give a figure for the savings produced by the Fawley Refinery alone, but they are certainly substantial.
§ Dr. KingSince it is certain that the Fawley Oil Refinery is making a vital contribution towards solving the nation's economic problems at the present time, will the Minister use whatever influence he can to speed up the provision of the second proposed oil refinery in Hampshire as a contribution to the nation's economy?
