§ 37. Mr. John Wellsasked the Minister of Technology what study his Department has made of the relative risks of rapid burning from alcohol and high octane petrol when used as racing car fuel; and what recommendations he has made in the interests of greater safety.
§ Mr. FowlerThe burning of alcohol and petrol has been studied at the Fire Research Station. There are differences in the behaviour of these fuels, but on balance there is no reason to prefer one to the other in the interests of safety.
