HC Deb 08 April 1937 vol 322 c382W
Mr. G. White

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty whether the oil produced from coal which costs the Admiralty three times as much as imported oil refers to the ordinary fuel oil produced by the low-temperature carbonisation process?

Mr. Lindsay

No, Sir, my statement related to some small purchases of a high grade liquid product of low-temperature carbonisation for a particular purpose, which purchases were made at about three times the duty-free price of imported fuel oil.
