HC Deb 16 March 1948 vol 448 c234W
98. Mr. H. D. Hughes

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power how much petrol has been allocated to the Quantock Staghounds for hunting purposes; and whether he will instruct regional petroleum officers, to withdraw such allocations.

Mr. Robens

On the recommendation of the responsible Agricultural Executive Committee 30 gallons per month have been allocated to the Master of the Quantock Staghounds for purposes connected with the hunt. These include arranging for the collection of carcases of deer killed by the hunt, and noting any damage which may have been caused by the hunt in passing, so that it may be repaired.
