HC Deb 18 December 1956 vol 562 c131W
65. Mr. Hunter

asked the Minister of Labour to give an approximate estimate of the increase in the number of points in the cost-of-living index caused by the increase in the price of petrol.

Mr. Iain Macleod

I am unable to make an estimate in respect of petrol alone. As regards the estimated effect of the increase in the prices of petrol and other oils, I would refer the hon. Member to the estimate given by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 10th December.
