HC Deb 19 December 1944 vol 406 cc1633-4W
Mr. Price

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he is aware that farmers in Gloucestershire are experiencing considerable difficulty in getting the necessary number of petrol coupons for the two-months periods to enable them to run their tractors; that the amount permitted is always considerably less than that necessary to keep the tractors running on necessary farm work; and whether he will look into the matter.

Mr. Lloyd

The County War Agricultural Executive Committee say that no such difficulties are being experienced, but I will make inquiries if the hon. Member will give me details of any special case he has in mind.
