HC Deb 03 April 1950 vol 473 c110W
105. Mr. Cuthbert

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power, in view of the fact that a licence has been granted to erect a refinery in Kent to the Vacuum Oil Company Limited, whether the licence applied for months ago has also been granted to a British oil firm, for a similar refinery in the same vicinity.

Mr. Robens

No licence has been issued to the Vacuum Oil Company Limited to build a refinery in Kent. The proposed new refinery is at Coryton in Essex. If the hon. Member will indicate the name of the oil company he has in mind in the second part of his Question, I will be pleased to look into it and give him a reply.
