Mr. Edwardsasked the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence whether his attention has been drawn to the establishment of oil-refining plants in Italy for the refining of crude oil; and whether the Falmouth Committee have taken any 2096W evidence as to the desirability of having more refining facilities in this country?
§ Sir T. InskipI am aware of the existence of the plants to which the hon. Member refers. As to the second part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to a similar question to-day.
