HC Deb 16 October 1945 vol 414 cc936-7W
Mr. Lipson

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he will consider the possibility of reducing the present allocation of petrol to the Forces in this country in order to increase the amount available for civilian needs.

Mr. Shinwell

There is close contact between my Ministry and the Service Departments in regard to the supplies of petrol needed for military purposes. These requirements are kept under constant review and are reduced whenever circumstances permit.
