HC Deb 19 February 1948 vol 447 cc253-4W
78. Sir J. Mellor

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if a special licence is required to enable a motorcar to be driven for repairs to a neighbouring garage, not upon the route for which petrol has been authorised.

83. Commander Noble

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what action should be taken by the owner of a motorcar or motorcycle in need of repair and capable of moving by its own propulsion, in order to proceed legally to the selected garage for repair.

Mr. Gaitskell

Normally the terms under which allowances are granted are such as to permit journeys to neighbouring garages where repairs may be carried out, though not to any garage however far away.

81. Mr. York

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what are the regulations dealing with the allowances of petrol to Service men on leave, including leave from overseas and demobilisation leave.

Mr. Gaitskell

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Kingston-upon-Thames (Mr. Boyd-Carpenter) on 6th November, 1947.
