§ Sir R. Glynasked the Minister of Transport whether he will consider granting an increased petrol allowance to seed and coal merchants who are holders of B or C licences in view of the difficulty these merchants are now experiencing in delivering seed and coal in rural areas where it is essential to provide these goods to ensure the steady progress of drilling the land and providing fuel for threshing and steam ploughing?
§ Captain WallaceSpecial arrangements have been made for local distribution of coal and I recently drew the Regional Transport Commissioners' attention to the importance of seed traffic at this time of year. I have no reason to believe that the movement of either traffic is being hampered by fuel rationing.
