HC Deb 25 May 1950 vol 475 c282W
118. Mr. Gammans

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power when he expects that branded petrol will be on sale to private motorists; and what reason prevents its use now.

Mr. Robens

My right hon. Friend is keeping this matter under review but I cannot say when it will be feasible to allow branded petrol to be sold. The short answer to the last part of the Question is that under present conditions it would involve uneconomic distribution.
