HC Deb 05 November 1940 vol 365 c1218W
Mr. Lipson

asked the Secretary for Petroleum whether he expects to be able to increase the petrol allowance for private motor-cars in 1941, with a view to encouraging motor-car owners to continue to keep their motor-cars in commission, so that they shall be readily available for war purposes should the need for them arise.

Mr. Lloyd

No, Sir. I am not prepared now to make a statement about the position in 1941. I should like to take this opportunity of emphasising again the need for exercising all possible economy in the use of petrol.
