HC Deb 25 February 1957 vol 565 c133W
104. Mr. Snow

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what order of priority is given for the supply of supplementary petrol in the Midlands area for haulage contractors supplying material for building operations and for pleasure coach travel operators.

Mr. Watkinson

Except for a limited list of commodities and activities which are essential to the life of the community there is no general order of priority for goods vehicles. Pleasure coach travel operators have been given 50 per cent. of their normal fuel consumption in the current rationing period, and will get 75 per cent. in the next.
