HC Deb 11 March 1948 vol 448 c166W
28. Major Beamish

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what answer he has given to the resolution unanimously passed by the Lewes Chamber of Commerce concerning the abolition of the basic petrol ration, and expressing the opinion that the saving in dollar expenditure claimed would be offset by restoring part at least of the ration and reviewing the commercial allocations.

Mr. Gaitskell

I have written to the hon. and gallant Member informing him that I have noted the resolution but am not in a position to add anything to the answer I gave on 5th February to a Supplementary Question by the hon. and gallant Member for North Blackpool (Mr. Law).
