§ 48. Mr. Nabarroasked the Minister of Power what improvements he has made in skeleton petrol rationing administrative machinery within his Department, since the time of the Suez campaign; and, in view of the developments at Kuwait, whether he will make a statement concerning preparations for petrol rationing in his Department.
§ Mr. WoodSkeleton petrol rationing arrangements have been in existence since Suez. Steps have been taken from time to time to keep them up to date.
In view of the precautions taken by Her Majesty's Government there is good reason to hope that these arrangements will not need to be brought into force.
