HC Deb 19 February 1946 vol 419 cc201-2W
Mr. Scott-Elliot

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he is aware that a shortage of paraffin exists in the Accrington district; and what measures he is taking to improve the position.

Mr. W. Foster

My right hon. Friend has received no reports indicating that the supply position is more difficult in the Accrington district than in other parts of the country. As regards increased supplies I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given by my right hon. Friend on the 5th February to the hon. and gallant Member for Banbury (Colonel Dodds-Parker).
