Mr. Walter Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection what action she proposes to take to assist the small garage owner who is being forced out of business by the current price-cutting activities by the oil companies.

As my hon. Friend knows, my Department has been inquiring into the present situation in petrol retailing jointly with the Department of Energy and the Department of Industry. The inquiry has now been completed and I am considering the results.
