§ 123. Sir W. Wakefieldasked the Minister of Fuel and Power why increased supplies of petrol are not obtained from sources not involving dollar expenditure.
§ Mr. ShinwellAt the present moment, the only sources from which we can purchase the amount by which the sterling area's requirements of petrol are in excess of what is available from British controlled sources—and which can therefore be bought for sterling—are dollar sources. All other production is absorbed locally.
