HOLIDAY PETROL
* THREE COUPONS MAY , BE USED , S (From Our Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, December 4. Petrol coupons six, seven, and eight will now be available at any time during the three months December, January, and February. This was announced this evening by the Minister of Supply (the 'Hon. D. G. Sullivan). who said he hoped the concession would facilitate the making of holiday arrangements. “Representations have been made to me recently by the North and South Island Motor Unions for more petrol for the holiday period, and for an extended interchangeability of coupons,” said Mr Sullivan. '“Unfortunately the stock and supply position is still such that the present allowances of holiday petrol are on the most generdus scale practicable. An increased ration would not be possible without the risk of depletion of stocks in some centres. The supply position has not changed, and the dollar problem is still the paramount factor in the situation.” He added, however, that he was pleased to announce that he had agreed with the request of the motor unions to extend the interchangeability of coupons.
