HC Deb 14 February 1924 vol 169 c1029W
Mr. LAMIBERT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if the Government directors on the Anglo-Persian Oil Company have secured a sufficient supply of oil fuel being available for the British Navy at a reasonable price?

Mr. SNOWDEN

The duty of providing for an adequate supply of oil fuel for the British Navy is a function of the Board of Admiralty and not of the Government directors on the Anglo-Persian Oil Company.
