HC Deb 13 March 1940 vol 358 c1214W
Mr. Woods

asked the Minister of Transport whether, in view of the considerable reduction in road transport owing to the limited ration of petrol and the consequent impossibility of speedy emptying of railway wagons, he will reconsider the question of increasing the demurrage rates?

Mr. Bernays

I have no reason to suppose that adequate fuel is not being made available for road transport for the speedy clearance of goods from railheads.
