Mr. Emery

asked the Secretary for Petroleum whether he will consider amending the Petroleum Order, 1941, Statutory Rules and Order, No. 546, in such a way that he is authorised to give directions also in respect of the further use of any waste petroleum, within the meaning of the Petroleum Order, 1941, to secure the best possible use of any such waste petroleum and immediately to issue directions under such Amended Petroleum Order, 1941, to prohibit the use of waste petroleum by burning so long as by refining same can be used for its original purpose?

Mr. Lloyd

The object which the hon. Member wishes to secure can be and is being substantially secured without a compulsory order.
