§ 38. Sir T. Mooreasked the Minister of Fuel and Power how much petrol has been saved up to the nearest convenient date as a result of the introduction of "red petrol."
§ Mr. GaitskellIt is impossible to say with complete confidence that any change58W in petrol consumption is due to any particular step which may have been taken; there are too many factors involved. But I estimate that from 1st June when the "red petrol" plan came into operation, until the end of October, enough petrol has been saved not only to provide for the standard ration (about 50,000 tons) but a further I00,000 tons as well.
