Mr. Battle

Prices of motor spirits and diesel are published by the European Commission in their weekly Oil Bulletin. "The Digest of United Kingdom Energy Statistics", to be published by the Department of Trade and Industry on 29 July 1999, will also provide this information for the first time. A copy will be available in the Library of the House.
