| Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} from Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1282 Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 4/JMS/28.6.40. The case of John R. {Sir Henry Royce} Nutter. With reference to your query regarding the use to which Mr. John R. {Sir Henry Royce} Nutter was putting his petrol ration, we have interrogated this man and he assures us that at no time has he utilised the petrol ration which is obtained from Rolls Royce Ltd. for any other purpose than that for going to and from his work, nor has he disposed of his coupons to any one else. The only run of any distance that he has undertaken during the past two months was to Chesterfield, and this was carried out on his basic supply. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
