Major Lloyd GeorgeI have considered from time to time the possibility of extending the rationing period for agricultural petrol, but I am satisfied that, owing to the marked seasonal changes in demand, a longer rationing period than two months would cause inconvenience to applicants and additional work to the Regional Petroleum Offices owing to the constant adjustments which would need to be made.
