HC Deb 18 July 1940 vol 363 cc413-4W
Mr. Ammon

asked the Secretary for Petroleum whether he is aware that on Saturday last there were several hundred motor cars attending the Catford Greyhound Stadium; and whether, having regard to the further restrictions on the consumption of petrol, he will put a stop to this waste?

Mr. Lloyd

The hon. Member is no doubt aware that the number of meetings at Catford has been reduced from three a week to one. As the number of cars present was approximately the same as previously, a very substantial reduction in the use of petrol has already been achieved.
