HL Deb 22 July 1946 vol 142 c764
LORD POLWARTH

I beg to ask the question standing in my name.

[The question was as follows:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether, in view of the forthcoming increases in petrol allowances for motor vehicles, they propose to increase petrol allowances for private and club-owned aircraft, and aircraft operated by charter companies.]

LORD AMMON

My Lords, it is proposed to increase the allowance of civil aviation fuel for aircraft in this country, and it is hoped to make an announcement shortly.

LORD POLWARTH

I thank the noble Lord for his reply. May I ask him how soon we may expect this announcement?

LORD AMMON

As soon as ever it is possible to arrive at a decision.
