HC Deb 12 February 1948 vol 447 c116W
118. Mr. Chamberlain

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether he will institute a check of cars between 6 and 11 p.m. on several evenings in Piccadilly and Park Lane, with a view to ascertaining whether petrol coupons are being properly used.

Mr. Gaitskell

I understand that during the past three weeks the police have questioned a number of motorists in these areas and that in certain cases the question of proceedings for misuse of petrol is under consideration.
