§ 62. Mr. N. Macphersonasked the Minister of Fuel and Power what is the maximum half-yearly petrol allocation allowed to each of the various categories of applicants for cars; and whether the maximum allocation is the same for those living or working in rural areas as for urban areas.
§ Mr. GaitskellI regret that it would be quite impracticable to give details of the various types of applicants, the categories into which they fall, and where a maximum allowance is fixed for any category, what this maximum is. In some cases also, applicants who apply for allowances for a number of different purposes would fall under several categories, some with a maximum and others without. Maximum allowances to persons in rural areas are not greater than those which may be granted for the same purposes to persons living in urban areas, provided other circumstances are the same.
