§ Mr. Kilfedderasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will discuss with the oil companies stopping the issuing of trading stamps or the offering of a discount to petrol station customers during the period when the public have been requested to economise in the use of petrol.
§ Mr. EmeryNo. The use of trading stamps or other promotion techniques, including price cutting, to attract custom to one filling station rather than another should not have a significant effect on the total demand for petrol.
