HC Deb 19 October 1916 vol 86 c763W
Mr. BLAIR

asked the President of the Board of Trade if the Petrol Control Committee when making allotments made any difference between applicants residing in London and other large towns and those living in out-of-the-way country districts, where it is impossible to obtain a conveyance of any kind?

Mr. RUNCIMAN

The allotments made by the Committee were based on the stated requirements, which, as a general rule, were much larger for applicants from country districts than those in London and other large towns.
