HC Deb 11 July 1946 vol 425 cc114-5W
Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power by what amount there is more petrol in storage in Britain today than there was in 1937, 1938 and 1939.

Mr. Shinwell

I have explained on several occasions that it would not be in the public interest to disclose stocks of petroleum products, and this applies equally to giving information on the trend of stocks in this country.
