HC Deb 26 February 1948 vol 447 c362W
97. Mr. Bartlett

asked the Minister of Transport whether he is aware that many people recently hired motor coaches to travel from London to Liverpool in order to queue for tickets for a cup tie match; how much petrol was used in this way; and what steps he is taking to prevent a repetition of the consumption of fuel for such a purpose.

Mr. Callaghan

I could not, without extensive inquiries, confirm that a motor coach was hired for this purpose. In reply to the last part of the Question, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave on 23rd February to the hon. Member for Solihull (Mr. M. Lindsay).
