HC Deb 11 May 1938 vol 335 cc1600-1W
Mr. Raikes

asked the Minister of Transport whether, before giving his final decision regarding the proposed scheme for raising the low-test petroleum limit from Mucking to Purfleet, he will give serious consideration to the danger of widespread unemployment among workers in existing oil concerns on Thames-side if the scheme is accepted?

Mr. Burgin:

Before giving my final decision, I should certainly take into consideration any matter which appeared to me to be relevant.
