HC Deb 28 October 1947 vol 443 c87W
97. Mr. Shephard

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that many ex-Service men have invested their savings in petrol filling stations and small garages, and that as a consequence of the abolition of the basic petrol ration, they will be deprived of their living; and what steps the Government propose to take to compensate these people for the loss they will incur.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave yesterday to the hon. Member for East Norfolk (Mr. Medlicott).
