HC Deb 05 December 1946 vol 431 c132W
Major Beamish

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether the end of petrol rationing will be coincident with the end of the Petroleum Board.

Mr. Shinwell

No decision has yet been taken regarding the winding up of the Petroleum Board, and I cannot yet state when it will be possible to abolish rationing. The two need not necessarily coincide.
