HC Deb 03 March 1927 vol 203 cc586-7W
Sir ASSHETON POWNALL

asked the Minister of Transport what is the estimated a-mount of petrol consumed by motor vehicles in Great Britain and Northern Ireland last year?

Colonel ASHLEY

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer given by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the 24th February to the hon. Member for Lincoln (Mr. Taylor), of which I am sending him a copy. Official statistics do not exist which would show the amount of motor spirit consumed by motor vehicles in Great Britain.
