§ Colonel Stoddart-Scottasked the Minister of Fuel and Power what proportion of lubricating oil is expected from the 1½ million tons annual output anticipated from the Government oil refinery at Heysham; and is it proposed to distribute this lubricating oil through the Lubricating Oil Pool Board.
§ Mr. GaitskellThe plant in question at Heysham has been disposed of by the Government to the Shell Refinery and Marketing Company. I am informed that the company's refining programme does not include the manufacture of any lubricating oil, since the refinery is not equipped with the special plant necessary for this purpose.
