§ 72. Mr. Frank Allaunasked the Secretary of State for Defence what have been the savings of the Army, Navy and Air Force, respectively, since the fuel emergency began in terms of petrol, aviation fuel and cash.
§ Mr. YoungerI would refer the hon. Member to my answer on 5th February.—[Vol. 868, c. 1026–27.]
The savings of fuel by the Services since the emergency began are in excess of 10 per cent. of normal consumption. In 389W December 1973 savings of about 400,000 gallons of petrol and about 2,400,000 gallons of aviation fuel were made. The cash equivalent of these savings was about £415,000.
