HC Deb 18 February 1957 vol 565 c5W
86. Mr. Hunter

asked the Paymaster-General how much oil has been imported from the United States of America since the Suez crisis; and if he will, at an early date, make a statement on the oil supply position.

Mr. Maudling

I hope it will be possible to make an announcement on the oil supply situation later this week. As to the amount of oil imported from the U.S.A. since the Suez crisis, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given on 28th January to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Poole (Captain Pilkington).
