HC Deb 27 October 1947 vol 443 c25W
97. Mr. G. Williams

asked the Minister of Transport what steps he has taken to provide more facilities for travel by road and rail owing to the increased requirements due to the abolition of basic petrol.

Mr. Callaghan

Sufficient experience of the effect of the abolition of the basic petrol ration has not yet been gained. If difficulties occur in a particular district we shall do our best to see that they are met.

102. Mr. Lipson

asked the Minister of Transport what additional public transport he is providing in the Cheltenham area to meet the increased demand made necessary by the abolition of the basic petrol ration.

Mr. Callaghan

It is too early yet to say that the abolition of the basic ration will require additional public transport. If any special difficulty arises the 'bus operators will do their best to meet it.
