HC Deb 06 June 1946 vol 423 c380W
102. Mr. Shurmer

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if, in view of increased imports of petrol, he is prepared to consider a more generous allowance to private motorists during the summer months and thereby ease the holiday traffic on the railways.

Mr. Gaitskell

We would like to provide a more generous allowance to motorists during the summer months, but this would involve additional dollar expenditure, which, I regret, cannot at present be justified.
