asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether, in view of the recent statement of the British Chancellor of the Exchequer relating to rationing and expenditure on oil and petrol, he anticipates any further restrictions on the sale and consumption of petrol and oil in this country during the next six months; and whether he will make a statement on the matter before the next car taxing period.
