Mr. Joynson-Hicks

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he will state that, notwithstanding the domestic and commercial cuts in petrol announced by the Government, the extended rations recently made available for foreign visitors will not be curtailed.

Although the basic petrol ration will be reduced as from 1st October, the recently made arrangements for the issue to foreign visitors of extra coupons to cover one return journey between the port of arrival and furthest destination will be continued.
