HC Deb 07 December 1937 vol 330 cc221-2W
Mr. Shinwell

asked the Secretary for Mines whether he will state the amount and value of hydrocarbon oils produced in the United Kingdom for the years 1933, 1934, 1935, and 1936, respectively?

Captain Crookshank

Available information regarding the quantities of hydrocarbon oils produced in Great Britain from indigenous materials in the years 1934, 1935 and 1936 is given in pages 15 and 16 of my Annual Report for 1936. Comparable statistics for 1933 were not collected. I have no information as to the value of these products.
