HC Deb 10 December 1956 vol 562 c3W
54. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what action he intends to take to control or restrict lubricating oil; whether there are ample reserves of this; and what notification he has received from the petroleum companies about the future price of lubricating oil.

Mr. Aubrey Jones

Stocks are good; no restrictions are contemplated at present but I ask users to exercise all possible economy.

One petroleum company has notified me of a proposed increase in the wholesale selling price of lubricating oil.
