HC Deb 29 January 1957 vol 563 c143W
67. Mr. Page

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works, as representing the Lord President of the Council, if he will arrange for the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research to carry out a research into the relationship between vehicle speed and petrol consumption with a view to giving advice to drivers upon the most economical use of petrol.

Mr. H. Nicholls

Further research is not really needed. A great deal is known, and advice on the subject has, I understand, already been given by the Press and the motoring organisations. I will, however, make inquiries to see whether further publicity should be arranged.
