HC Deb 06 November 1947 vol 443 c239W
76. Mr. J. Morrison

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what petrol allocation is to be given to young farmers' clubs and their members to enable them to carry on with their programmes.

Mr. Gaitskell

Allowances of petrol are granted to members of local and county committees of the National Farmers' Union, and to members of Young Farmers' Clubs, to enable them to attend meetings of their respective organisations where other means of transport are not reasonably practicable. The quantity of petrol granted depends on the circumstances in each case.
