HC Deb 06 August 1942 vol 382 cc1216-7W
Mr. Ridley

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he has considered the cases of extravagant use of petrol to which his attention has been drawn by the hon. Member for Clay Cross; whether he has made any inquiries; and what action he has taken?

Mr. T. Smith

I gather that my hon. Friend refers to instances of alleged waste of petrol mentioned in a recent newspaper article The attention of the Departments concerned has been drawn to the state- ments in the article, and I understand they are seeking more precise information.
