No. L.P.G. control worries garages
; The Motor Trade Asso- | ciation is concerned that ! the Government has not I placed a moratorium on j the establishment of lique- | fied petroleum gas-dis- ! pensing facilities. j Submissions were made ; in February seeking a moj ratorium until the Governi ment introduces legislation I to control the installation of L.P.G. equipment. The exeutive officer of j the Association (Mr T. Bates), said it had been • proposed that L.P.G. dis-
pensing be controlled in a similar way to petrol-re-tailing. “We are not opposed to L.P.G. as an alternative automotive fuel but we are opposed to the installation of dispensing facilities without proper control,” he said. The introduction of L.P.G. as an automotive fuel would destroy the legislative protection of the petrol-distribution system unless L.P.G. dispensing was controlled.
