I believe I have done in my posting 150. Two papers are posted, the first item 9 in the summary of conclusions of the 5th meeting of the Oil Committee. This paper clearly and without any limitation says that the ACAS has requested that squadrons armed with fighters and Blenheims should begin to use 100 Octane

The second paper May 1940 which is for the Summary of actions for the 6th Meeting of the Oil Committee is the one that contains the magic Certain word. This paper specifically refers to item 9 of the Summary of the Conclusions of the 5th Meeting so it is clear that it is refering to the previous paper.

As I have said before I don't know why he said certain, but I do know that the first paper was clear and that the request was without limitation.
I am pretty sure that the Oil Committee largely staffed by Air Force Officers wouldn't overide the Chief of the Air Staff without some explanation.
I once worked for the Company Secretary of an Insurance Company and normal practice if the action had changed would be to document the change in the papers for the next meeting. Otherwise people would not know what actions to take or what the Oil Committee are expected to do or be responsible for.
Can I guarantee that they didn't follow standard practice, no I cannot, but Civil Service bodies all over the world love paperwork and the chances are very slim.

If people believe that Certain means a limit of some kind then I believe that they need to try and identify what that limit is and not make assumptions. I looked into it and the only link I found was to the first paper which is unambigious.

I repost the papers for you

Hope this helps
