Petrol Derationing
SIR.—You quote with approval the observation of the Petroleum Times that petrol derationing could not have been accomplished earlier, since the scheme put before the Minister of Fuel by the Anglo-American Oil Co. was finalised only three weeks before rationing ended. Many would like to know why the people of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland should have to wait until a foreign joint stock company has " finalised a scheme" before they are allowed to use their cars as they will. Surely we can expect some initiative from our own Government. The Conservatives were apparently prepared to do some- thing positive, and it is hard to believe that the only possibility was to -. wait until something turned up.=-Yours faithfully, 9 Essex Road, Barnton, Midlothian. WILLIAM G. CRABBIE.
