HC Deb 22 July 1941 vol 373 c802W
Mr. Gallacher

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the oil agreement made in 1940 whereby the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company was to sell 1,000,000 barrels of oil to Japan is still in operation; and what are the figures for oil exports to Japan from British-owned fields in the Middle East for 1941?

Mr. Law

As regards the first part of the Question, I am informed by the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company that the contract referred to is not now in operation. As regards the second part, I understand that no oil exports to Japan from British-owned oil fields in the Middle East have taken place in 1941.
