HC Deb 03 May 1934 vol 289 c492W
Mr. DICKIE

asked the President of the Board of Trade the figures for the total consumption of motor spirit in the United Kingdom for 1933; and what quantity of the total was imported?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

The total consumption of motor spirit in the United Kingdom during the calendar year 1933 was approximately 1,079,395,000 gallons, but it is not possible to state how much of this quantity was imported, as against motor spirit produced by refining imported oil in this country.
