HC Deb 17 November 1938 vol 341 cc1083-4W
Lieut.-Commander Tufnell

asked the Secretary for Mines whether, with a view to increasing the reserves of petrol in this country, he can arrange for steps to be taken which will provide an inducement to every petrol filling station in the country to maintain much larger reserve tanks than it now possesses?

Captain Crookshank

There are several important considerations to which regard must be had in deciding the best disposition of the stocks of petroleum products held in this country. My hon. and gallant Friend may be assured that, subject to these, all possibilities of improving the stocks position have been fully examined and suitable action is being taken.
