NO PLEASURE MOTORING
Rugby, March 12. t i Announcing further petrol restric . tions in the House of Commons, the l I Secretary for Petroleum said that the 1 development of the war now made it r necessary to impose further substane tial reductions. The value, therefore. □ of basic ration coupons for May and - June would be halved, and as from ,1 June 7 the basic ration itself would - cease to exist. r i Genuine need would have to be e proved by persons applying for su.p- . plementary allowances to make up q for loss of the basic ration, and consideration would be given to people - living in rural districts with inade- - quate transport services. e “These measures are designed tc - end pleasure motoring for the pres e ent, and I should emphasise that the Government wants al] unessentia. cars to be taken off the road,” the n ?.'linister added.—B.O.W.
