§ Mr. Geraint Howellsasked the Secretary of State for Energy what representations he has received from the Farmers Union of Wales, and the National Farmers Union in Wales regarding the supply and sale of paraffin; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. GrayI have received no such representations. The overall supply of paraffin is adequate. Although one company has announced its impending withdrawal from the paraffin market, the remaining suppliers foresee no difficulty in meeting demand from that company's customers.
