HC Deb 21 February 1952 vol 496 c64W
126. Mr. Chetwynd

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will refer to the Monopolies and Restrictive Practices Commission the practice of petroleum companies taking exclusive rights in the distribution of petrol by offering inducements to the garage owners on condition that they only supply the products of one company.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

I will consider the supply of petrol as a possible subject for reference to the Commission when I come to select further references.
