HC Deb 05 December 1973 vol 865 c399W
66. Mr Handing

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will investigate the extent to which heavy lorries from the Continent are filling up with fuel when they arrive in Great Britain and then again before they leave ; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Tom Boardman

No. These statistics are not collected. But as garages are limiting supplies to their customers, such practices would be difficult.
