147. Mr. Parkin

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he will give instructions that when motorists applying for petrol to attend worship can prove long-established membership of a particular congregation, or are members of choirs or office-holders, they shall not be asked to change to a church nearer their home.

Mr. Gaitskell

Yes; within the limit of the maximum amount allocated for this purpose.
