§ 103. Sir T. Mooreasked the President of the Board of Trade what is the estimated loss in trade in a full year which is likely to result from the termination of the basic petrol ration.

These concerns will inevitably suffer some loss of business, but no official statistics are available from which the extent of such loss in trade can be estimated.
