§ Mr. Roseasked the President of the Board of Trade what proportion of motorists' petrol passed through petrol company-owned stations during each of the last five years.
§ Mr. DellThe statistical information sought is not available. However, it was estimated in 1964, at the time of the Monopolies Commission inquiry into the supply of petrol, that about one quarter was sold through company-owned stations. A more recent estimate, for 1966–67, is that the proportion was about one third.
