§ Mr. Varleyasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what has been the percentage increase in the average price of fuel oil to industry and the domestic user since June, 1970.
§ Mr. RidleyI cannot give a precise answer because the price varies from one part of the country to another and according to the quantity delivered. The increase in the price to industry since June is of the order of 50 per cent. Very little fuel oil is supplied to domestic users.
