§ Mr. TURTONasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food if he is aware that a quantity of rabbits, hares, game, and wildfowl cannot be placed upon 2131W the markets owing to the refusal of the Petrol Committee to allow owners of motor cars already in possession of petrol to use the same for the purpose of obtaining such supplies and placing them on the markets; and, if so, will he take steps for permitting the use of the petrol mentioned?
§ Mr. WARDLEI have been asked by my hon. Friend to answer this question. The use of petrol for driving private motor cars to shooting parties, or for any other form of sport, is not permissible under the recent Restriction Order, but its use for the conveyance of supplies to markets has not been prohibited. My right hon. Friend regrets that he cannot advise any relaxation of the Order for the first-mentioned purpose.
