§ Major Carverasked the Secretary for Petroleum whether he is aware of the difficulties experienced by those on leave from the British Expeditionary Force in 329W being obliged to produce their motor-car registration books at the nearest recruiting office in person, and are not even allowed to send them by post when the petrol-on-leave concession is granted; and whether, as the 10 days' leave is so short, he will allow applicants to post their registration books or obtain the coupons from a post office or local food controller?
§ Mr. Geoffrey LloydI regret that, after consultation with the Service Departments, it was not considered practicable to arrange for applications for these allowances to be made by post or to provide for their issue by other than Service authorities. Arrangements are, however, under active consideration for securing, in the near future, a considerable increase in the number of issuing centres.
