HC Deb 27 February 1947 vol 433 c320W
103. Commander Maitland

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what steps he has taken to ensure that sufficient tractor fuel is available in rural districts when the present weather breaks.

Mr. Shinwell

Stocks of vaporising oil for use as tractor fuel are adequate to meet requirements. I do not anticipate that farmers will have any difficulty in getting supplies when they are needed.
