International Petroleum Council

68.

Mr. Harold Davies
asked the Minister of Fuel and Power what steps have been made since September, 1945, to set up a permanent International Petroleum Council as envisaged in Article III of the agreement between His Majesty's Government and the Government of the United States of America.

Mr. P. Noel-Baker
This agreement was never ratified by the United States Congress; consequently no steps have been taken to carry it out.
